10 Theories of Hearing Place Coding Theories Resonance theory (Helmholtz, 1885) Traveling wave theory (Georg von Bekesy Nobel Prize 1961) Many other theories including standing wave theory, pressure pattern theory, frequency analytic theory, etc. See Zemlin for details. Temporal Coding Theories Telephone theory (Rutherford, 1886) Volley theory (Wever, 1949)

11 Place Theory: Impedance characteristics of the basilar membrane Mass reactance Stiffness reactance Resistance Apical end is 5x wider and 100x more flaccid than basal end.

12 Resonance Theory The BM acts as a series of filters or tuned rods (analogy of piano strings). It performs a frequency analysis (Fourier Analysis) of the incoming signal.

13 Traveling Wave Theory Most popular TW theory developed by Bekesy ( ). Used cochlear models and direct observation of cochlea.

14 Traveling wave

15 Traveling wave for complex tones Basilar Membrane Traveling Wave 8 kHz + 2 kHz 16 kHz + 2 kHz + 1 kHz 16 kHz + 8 kHz + 4 kHz + 2 kHz

16 Traveling wave and non- linearities

17 Traveling wave and upward spread of masking Excitation patterns and can be used to represent traveling wave. Notice that low frequencies can mask high frequencies (e.g., 1000 masking 2000 Hz) better than the high frequencies mask lows (e.g., 1000 masking 500 Hz).

18 Telephone Theory Problem is that the absolute refractory period is about 1 msec. That is, a hair cell can fire only once per millisecond (1000 times per second or 1000 Hz). Therefore, it would not be possible to transmit sounds to the CNS greater than 1000 Hz. Another problem is that damage to certain parts of the basilar membrane (basal end) helps confirm a place theory.

19 Volley Theory Modification of Telephone theory. Receptor cells fire in groups: first one, then another, then a third Resetting: the first group of cells to fire are resetting while the second and third groups fire and so on

20 Combining Place and Volley Theories FrequenciesPredominate Theory Comments < 300, 400 HzVolleyThe traveling wave is too broad to allow for specificity. Mid FrequenciesBoth theories apply > 4000, 5000 HzTraveling Wave Temporal coding not supported in high frequencies

23 Role of Hair Cells on Hearing Thresholds Normal behavioral thresholds are due to amplification of motion by OHCs Slight to moderate hearing loss is due to a breakdown of OHCs, and not IHCs Severe hearing loss is due to the breakdown of OHCs and IHCs
