... A dead cochlear region is defined as a region of the cochlea where there are no functioning inner hair cells and/or neurons. (Moore, 2001). When a pure-tone signal “falls” into a dead region, it can be heard by neighboring hair cells, if the intensity of the signal is loud enough. This is because th ...

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.
