What: Modeling Nonlinear Mechanics in Normal (and Impaired) Cochleas – Whose Data Should We Ignore?
Why: The cochlea starts all hearing processes.
Abstract
When we model sensorineural hearing loss as a reduction or failure of the active gain mechanism of cochlear mechanics, we are already stepping into a controversy in the field, involving different interpretations of experimental data. It is important for future progress that we do better at using models to explain and interpret experimental data, rather than either ignoring data we don't like or making interpretations without support from good models. In this talk, I touch on several such controversies that were apparent at Mechanics of Hearing 2020/2022, and I illustrate using photos from that fun meeting (this was a last-day keynote address there).
