title = "The generation of harmonic distortion and distortion products in a computational model of the cochlea",
abstract = "It is generally agreed that the nonlinear response of the cochlea is due to the forward transduction of the outer hair cell (OHC) hair bundle (HB) and subsequent alteration of the active force applied to the cochlear structures, including the basilar membrane (BM). A mechanical-acoustical-electrical model of the cochlea with three-dimensional fluid representation, and feedback from OHC somatic motility coupled to nonlinear HB mechanotransduction is used to predict nonlinear distortion of the BM response to acoustic stimulus. An efficient alternating frequency time scheme is implemented to solve for the nonlinear stationary dynamics of the cochlea. The model is used to predict the location of maximum generation of nonlinear distortion during pure tone and two-tone stimulation as well as the propagation of the distortion components on the BM.",
