Abstract
Apparently, although the outer hair cells (OHC) of the cochlea are firmly bonded to the tectorial membrane (TM), the inner hair cells (IHC) are not. The way in which the idea of a set of disconnected hair cells that impact the TM is consistent with psychophysical data was explored. The exploration to the masking of high-frequency (HF) tone bursts by low-frequency (LF) tone was extended, the model can explain important features of these complex data.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
