Auditory Sound Transmission provides an integrated,
state-of-the-art description and quantitative analysis of sound
transmission from the outer ear to the sensory cells in the cochlea
of the inner ear. It describes in detail the structures and
mechanisms involved and gives their input and transmission
characteristics. It shows how sound transmission in one part of the
ear depends on the input characteristics of the next part and how
sound is analyzed in the inner ear before it reaches the nervous
system. The book is divided into seven chapters. The first gives
the general overview of the path of sound in the ear. The second
concerns the acoustics of the outer ear which is important not only
for sound transmission in the ear but also for the design and
calibration of earphones, as well as for clinical and research
measurements of sound pressure in the ear canal. The third chapter
analyzes the middle ear function which is crucial for adapting the
conditions of sound propagation in the air to those in the inner
ear fluids. The middle ear is prone to various malfunctions, and it
is shown how they change the acoustic conditions measured in the
ear canal and can be diagnosed on this basis. The next three
chapters are dedicated to the most intricate mechanical part of the
auditory system, the cochlea. Because of its complexity, its
function is explained in three steps: first, with the help of
simplifications produced by death; second, on the basis of the
measured characteristics of the live organ; third, with the help of
quantitative analysis. The last chapter describes cochlear
mechanisms underlying pitch and loudness perception.
