Bandpass filters separate sound into different frequency regions and compression reduces the dynamic range in each band to the narrow dynamic range of electrical hearing, approximately 20 dB. While this approach attempts to mimic the tonotopicity of the normal cochl ...

Noise Exposure and Hearing Loss

A hearing loss generally occurs over a particular range of frequencies and may be described by terms such as high frequency, lo ...

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.
