Nonlinearity in intracochlear pressure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonlinearity exists in intracochlear pressure responses close to the cochlea's sensory tissue. Its characteristics are much like those of basilar membrane motion nonlinearity. Here several aspects of the pressure nonlinearity in the base of the gerbil cochlea are illustrated.

Local cochlear damage reduces local nonlinearity and decreases generator-type cochlear emissions while increasing reflector-type emissions.
Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) originate in cochlear nonlinearity and emerge into the ear canal as an apparent sum of emission types, one of which (generator) travels directly out and the other (reflector) travels out following linear reflection. The present study explores intracochlear sources of DPOAEs via simultaneous ear canal and intracochlear pressure measurements in ge...
متن کاملPostinsertional Cable Movements of Cochlear Implant Electrodes and Their Effects on Intracochlear Pressure
Introduction. To achieve a functional atraumatic cochlear implantation, intracochlear pressure changes during the procedure should be minimized. Postinsertional cable movements are assumed to induce intracochlear pressure changes. The aim of this study was to observe intracochlear pressure changes due to postinsertional cable movements. Materials and Methods. Intracochlear pressure changes were...
متن کاملTwo-tone distortion in intracochlear pressure.
Two-tone distortion was measured in the intracochlear pressure in the base of the gerbil cochlea, close to the sensory tissue, where the local motions and forces of the organ of Corti can be detected. The measurements probe both the underlying nonlinear process that generates two-tone distortion, and the filtering and spreading of the distortion products. Some of our findings are as follows: (1...
متن کاملCochlear implant electrode sealing techniques and related intracochlear pressure changes
BACKGROUND The inserted cochlear implanted electrode is covered at the site of the round window or cochleostomy to prevent infections and leakage. In a surgically hearing preservational concept, low intracochlear pressure changes are of high importance. The aim of this study was to observe intracochlear pressure changes due to different sealing techniques in a cochlear model. METHODS Cochlear...
متن کاملDifferential Intracochlear Sound Pressure Measurements in Human Temporal Bones with an Off-the-Shelf Sensor
The standard method to determine the output level of acoustic and mechanical stimulation to the inner ear is measurement of vibration response of the stapes in human cadaveric temporal bones (TBs) by laser Doppler vibrometry. However, this method is reliable only if the intact ossicular chain is stimulated. For other stimulation modes an alternative method is needed. The differential intracochl...
