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 ...

A Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Model of the Cochlea [PDF]
The human cochlea is a remarkable device, able to discern extremely small amplitude sound pressure waves, and discriminate between very close frequencies.

Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions in TectaY1870C/+ mice reflect changes in cochlear amplification and how it is controlled by the tectorial membrane [PDF]
Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) recorded from the ear canal in the absence of sound reflect cochlear amplification, an outer-hair-cell (OHC) process required for the extraordinary sensitivity and frequency selectivity of mammalian hearing ...

Audio-vestibular symptoms in systemic autoimmune diseases [PDF]
Immune-mediated inner ear disease can be primary, when the autoimmune response is against the inner ear, or secondary. The latter is characterized by the involvement of the ear in the presence of systemic autoimmune conditions. Sensorineural hearing loss

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 ...

The study of otoacoustic emissions and the suppression of otoacoustic emissions in subjects with tinnitus and normal hearing : an insight to tinnitus etiology [PDF]
Introduction: analysis of the suppression effect is a simple method to evaluate cochlear status and central auditory mechanisms and, more specifically, the medial olivocochlear system.

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 ...

ABSTRACT Objective To compare the association of vertigo with rates of frequency‐specific hearing recovery in pediatric and adult patients with unilateral idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Methods A total of 80 pediatric and 444 adult patients hospitalized with SSNHL were included in this study.

Vestibular schwannoma and ipsilateral endolymphatic hydrops: an unusual association [PDF]
Vestibular schwannoma and endolymphatic hydrops are two conditions that may present with similar audio-vestibular symptoms. The association of the two in the same patient represents an unusual nding that may lead clinicians to errors and delays in ...
