Abstract
The discovery of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) has encourage? a re-asessment of active mechanisms in hearing. Nonlinear oscillators are attractive candidates for understanding active processes in hearing, and otoacoustic emissions in particular. Even the simplest nonlinear oscillators used in current theories shww hmlt cycle behavior but they are also capable of more complex, chaotic, behavior. For example, the forced van der Pol oscillator utilized in models of hearing (Duifhuis et al., 1986; Tubis et al., 1988) is also known to exhibit chaotic behavior. It is unknown whether OAEs actually exhibit chaotic behavior.
