Middle Ear Mechanism
Impedance (resistance to flow of energy) matching device Increases pressure of signal arriving at cochlea 25dB gain between TM and OW due to area ratio
lever advantage of ossicles provides a 2dB gain

Traveling Wave
• Initiation caused by compression of the fluid in the scala vestibuli which is transmitted directly to the basilar membrane
• Point of maximum excursion of BM determines fx information transmitted to brain
• BM quickly damps after reaching maximum excursion
• Fx analysis of BM determined by stiffness, thickness and width of membrane– Stiffer, thinner, narrow at base

Outer and Inner
Cells Of Organ of
Corti
Many nerve cells innervate each inner hair cell, excitation from fluid flow and turbulence of endolymph
Many outer hair cells are innervated by one nerve fiber, excitation from shearing effect on cilia
