Abstract

In published studies, much attention is paid to the path that auditory information is transferred to the receptor by means of sound wave resonance in the cochlear fluid with natural vibrations of the basilar membrane. Much focus is put on the traveling wave on the basilar membrane and to liquid flows in the inner ear that supposedly trigger the tip-links mechanism. Sound signal amplification is explained by contractions of external auditory cells and pulling up of the basilar membrane. The mechanism of how sound wave energy works on the hearing receptor is not discussed.
