The 1.06 frequency ratio in the cochlea: evidence and outlook for a natural musical semitone [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 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 ...

Contralateral inhibition of click- and chirp-evoked human compound action potentials [PDF]
, 2017 Cochlear outer hair cells (OHC) receive direct efferent feedback from the caudal auditory brainstem via the medial olivocochlear (MOC) bundle. This circuit provides the neural substrate for the MOC reflex, which inhibits cochlear amplifier gain and is ...

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019 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 ...

Insights Into Elevated Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions In Sickle Cell Disease: Comparisons of Hydroxyurea-treated and Non-treated Young Children [PDF]
, 2006 Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were examined in 15 normal- hearing African-American children between the ages of 6 and 14 years with homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD), who were on a regimen of hydroxyurea (HDU), a drug that reduces ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Chaotic Dynamics Enhance the Sensitivity of Inner Ear Hair Cells [PDF]
, 2019 Hair cells of the auditory and vestibular systems are capable of detecting sounds that induce sub-nanometer vibrations of the hair bundle, below the stochastic noise levels of the surrounding fluid.

Electrocochleographic Changes Predict an Early Sign of Cochlear Degeneration
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 89-100, February 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the earliest appearing auditory electrophysiological indicators that change with age progression in young adults with normal hearing, and to analyze the frequency distribution patterns of these markers in the cochlear.

Cochlear synaptopathy causes loudness perception impairment without hearing loss
Noise and Health, 2022 Purpose: In this study, the development of a quantitative measurement method to predict long-term auditory adaptation through the stimuli that have been modulated according to different short-term modulation types was aimed to form a psychoacoustic test ...
