The human ear has a complex, previously unidentified ... These modes affect how sound waves travel along the basilar membrane, with hair cells playing a key role in amplification.

Yale researchers discovered new cochlear hearing modes that influence how the ear amplifies sound and processes frequencies.

"We set out to understand how the ear can tune itself to detect faint ... waves that travel along the cochlea's hair-lined basilar membrane. "Each pure tone rings at one point along this spiral ...

Its floor is formed by the osseous spiral lamina and the basilar membrane, which separate the cochlear duct from the scala tympani. Figure 1A. The ear has 3 parts. Conductive hearing loss usually ...

2012;8(2):107-109. Of special concern when considering hearing in aging is the loss of hair cells located on the basilar membrane in the cochlea in the inner ear: some 12,000–15,000 outer hair ...

The ossicular chain in the middle ear space then transmits the acoustic energy to the ... hair cells and three rows of outer hair cells which reside over the elastic basilar membrane. Longitudinal ...

After securing the skull using dental acrylic, customized headpost and ear bars, and a stereotaxic frame (Kopf ... across two fluid spaces separated by the basilar membrane: 1) the Corti fluid, and 2) ...

In addition, temporary blockages of the basilar membrane can reduce the signal amplitude ... with a sterile foam plug placed in the outer ear canal. A 500 Hz Hamming windowed pure tone burst of 8 ms ...
