Abstract

Simple cochlear models can show a peak in their response but only of a limited magnitude. The constraints limiting the size of this peak are studied in this note, for the short-wave as well as the long-wave case. It is found that a sharply rising response is impossible in a model in which the basilar membrane can only absorb acoustical energy. To attain a model response that is comparable to the response found in the most recent experiments, the basilar membrane must be assumed to be capable of adding acoustic energy to the fluid waves.

Biophysics of the cochlea. II: Stationary nonlinear phenomenology.

Nonlinearities affecting cochlear mechanics produce appreciable compression in the basilar membrane (BM) input/output (I/O) functions at the characteristic frequency for sound-pressure levels (SPLs) as low as 20 dB (re: 20 microPa). This is thought to depend upon saturation of the outer hair cell (OHC) mechanoelectrical transducer (MET). This hypothesis was tested by solving a nonlinear integrodifferential equation that describes the BM vibration in an active cochlea. The equation extends a previously developed linear approach [Mammano and Nobili, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 93, 3320-3332 (1993)], here modified to include saturating MET, with a few corrections mainly concerning tectorial membrane resonance and OHC coupling to the BM. Stationary solutions were computed by iteration in the frequency domain for a wide range of input SPLs, generating BM I/O functions, frequency response envelopes, and two-tone distortion products. Traveling-wave amplitude envelopes were also computed for a fixed suppressor and several suppressed tones in order to evidence the phenomenon of two-tone suppression (frequency masking) at the mechanical level. All results accord nicely with experimental data.

On equivalence of locally active models of the cochlea.

In the literature on locally active models of the cochlea several forms of the model have been worked out in which elements of the organ of Corti are assumed to produce acoustical energy. In these models use is made of a secondary resonance or a place-dependent delay to achieve activity over a limited part of the length of the basilar membrane, and outer hair cells are postulated as sources of energy production. In the present paper it will be shown that several of these models are formally equivalent. That means that they can be reduced to a standard form, and that the only difference resides in the choice and meaning of the parameters. The results of the analysis serve to facilitate the analysis of function and structure in cochlear models containing sources of local activity. In particular, questions of positive versus negative feedback, and the parts played by resonance and impedance-level differences can be resolved unambiguously. The treatment can be extended to models with higher dimensionality, and can also serve to obtain insight in nonlinear phenomena occurring in cochlear models.

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions in an active nonlinear model of the cochlea.

An active nonlinear model of the cochlea in the form of a transmission line was presented, in which the active feedback system by outer hair cells (OHCs) was expressed as a series of low-pass filters on the basilar membrane (BM) which were transducing basilar membrane displacement to feedback force. The model could produce distortion product oto-acoustic emissions (DPOAEs) explicitly as well as sharp tuning curves of BM, and it was possible to discuss the cause of DPOAEs in terms of the active feedback. It was inferred that the nonlinearity of the cochlea which causes DPOAEs may be related to a saturating property of the feedback system by OHCs.
