Dynamics of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions [PDF]
Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) have become a hallmark feature in modern theories of an ‘active’ inner ear, given their numerous correlations to auditory function (e.g., threshold microstructure, neurophysiological tuning curves), near universality across tetrapod classes, and physiological correlates at the single hair cell level.

Evaluation of Hearing and Outer Hair Cell Function of Cochlea in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis [PDF]
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate hearing and outer cells function in patients with psoriatic arthritis. Our investigation was a prospective case control study.MethodsA total of 31 psoriatic arthritis patients (62 ears) and 31 healthy ...

Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions: Clinical interest [PDF]
AbstractSpontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOEs) were recorded in a group of normally hearing participants (n=148 ears) and a group of patients demonstrating several common types of sensorineural hearing loss (n=136 ears) in order to study the clinical interest of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions.

The 1.06 frequency ratio in the cochlea: evidence and outlook for a natural musical semitone [PDF]
A frequency ratio of about 1.06 often appears in cochlear mechanics, and the question naturally arises, why? The ratio is close to that of the semitone (1.059) in music, giving reason to think that this aspect of musical perception might have a cochlear ...

Top-Down Cognitive and Linguistic Influences on the Suppression of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions
Auditory sensation is often thought of as a bottom-up process, yet the brain exerts top-down control to affect how and what we hear. We report the discovery that the magnitude of top-down influence varies across individuals as a result of differences in ...

CEACAM16 is a non-collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane, an extracellular structure of the cochlea essential for normal hearing. Dominant and recessive mutations in CEACAM16 have been reported to cause postlingual and progressive forms of ...

This review surveys eukaryotic cilia as putative quantum‐enabled sensory and regulatory centers. It highlights their multifaceted roles in the cell, focuses on the nontrivial roles of quantum mechanics in their membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, and introduces the essential building blocks enabling quantum properties to survive in the warm, wet, and ...

Genetic Diagnosis and Discovery Enabled by Large Language Models
We demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) can facilitate genetic diagnosis and discovery. LLMs were used to solve four types of genetic problems of sequentially increased complexity. An LLM‐based pipeline could analyze genetic variants in the genomic sequences of human hearing loss or rare genetic disease patients and assist in identifying ...

Modeling the characteristics of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions in lizards
Lizard auditory papillae have proven to be an attractive object for modelling the production of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAE). Here we use an established model (Vilfan and Duke, 2008) and extend it by exploring the effect of varying the number of oscillating elements, the strength of the parameters that describe the coupling between ...
