Abstract
With the increasing certainty that cochlear mechanics is the determining factor in auditory sensitivity and frequency selectivity, we need to develop our understanding of the evoked biomechanical responses of the cochlea just as we have come to understand and use its electrophysiological responses. Here we compare and contrast ear canal manifestations of cochlear biomechanics in human and gerbil, and consider some parallels with the round window potential.
