    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Neuroscience
    • Bioacoustics
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are crucial for hearing diagnostics.
    • Understanding the cochlear mechanisms generating OAEs remains a challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the generation of spontaneous, simultaneous evoked, and delayed evoked OAEs.
    • To elucidate the role of cochlear nonlinear feedback in OAE production.

    Main Methods:

    • A hardware model simulating peripheral auditory preprocessing with nonlinear feedback was developed.
    • Simulations analyzed spontaneous, simultaneous evoked, and delayed evoked emissions.

    Main Results:

    • The model demonstrated strong parallels with human OAE data.
    • Identified the cochlear phase response as key to emission frequency spacing and suppression tuning.
    • Explained delayed evoked emissions via summed decaying contributions along the basilar membrane.

    Conclusions:

    • The cochlea functions analogously to the developed hardware model.
    • All three studied OAE types originate from a common source.
    • Outer hair cell nonlinearity shapes suppression-period patterns in OAEs.
