Abstract

Wavelet transform and multiresolution decomposition are described. Examples of the application of orthogonal wavelet transform to acoustic evoked potentials and otoacoustic emissions (OEA) are given and basic features of wavelet packets and wavelet network methods are characterized. An approach that enables the identification of local signal structures--a generalization of wavelet transform called Matching Pursuit--is presented. In the framework of this method the signal is decomposed into time-frequency 'atoms', which offers a possibility of determination of an 'instantaneous frequency' with the accuracy close to the theoretical limit. The method is illustrated by application to OAE signals. The advantages and limitations of the methods presented are discussed.

Surgical technique for the CLARION cochlear implant.

This paper describes a technique for implantation of the CLARION Multi-Strategy Cochlear Implant based upon the authors' surgical experience with the device. Although much of the procedure is similar to many commonly performed otologic operations, including implantation of other cochlear prostheses, several device-specific modifications are highlighted. Those modifications include a substantial bony seat, facial recess, and cochleostomy, and the use of an electrode insertion tool.

Compression, gain, and nonlinear distortion in an active cochlear model with subpartitions.

The propagation of inhomogeneous, weakly nonlinear waves is considered in a cochlear model having two degrees of freedom that represent the transverse motions of the tectorial and basilar membranes within the organ of Corti. It is assumed that nonlinearity arises from the saturation of outer hair cell active force generation. I use multiple scale asymptotics and treat nonlinearity as a correction to a linear hydroelastic wave. The resulting theory is used to explain experimentally observed features of the response of the cochlear partition to a pure tone, including: the amplification of the response in a healthy cochlea vs a dead one; the less than linear growth rate of the response to increasing sound pressure level; and the amount of distortion to be expected at high and low frequencies at basal and apical locations, respectively. I also show that the outer hair cell nonlinearity generates retrograde waves.
