If you keep [walking] that same path over and over again, those hair cells, or the grass, will stay down. Then you begin to rip the blades of grass out, and now you've hit dirt. The same th ...

The vent effect - an introduction
... Venting in earmoulds has been used for many years to control the sound pressure level in the ear canal at low frequencies and to make the hearing aid more comfortable to wear. Vents often reduce the occlusion effect and the build-up of moisture in the ear canal as they permit the passage of air into ...

Loud noises cause the fluid of the cochlea to vibrate more which causes the basilar membrane to move up and down to a greater extent. The impulses generated travel to the auditory area of the brain and ar ...

Olivocochlear system
The olivocochlear system is a component of the auditory system involved with the descending control of the cochlea. Its nerve fibres, the olivocochlear bundle (OCB), form part of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIIIth cranial nerve, also known as the auditory-vestibular nerve), and project from the superior olivary complex in the brainstem (pons) to the cochlea.
