Abstract

It is well known that hair cells in cochlea can detect nanometer-order range vibration. Mecano-electrical transduction mechanism of hair cells is worthy to apply MEMS device and technology. This will be breakthrough in today's MEMS device development. In this study, hair cells model is investigated numerically by using finite-element analysis commercial software, COMSOL Multiphysics Ver.4.3b. Computational result shows that eignfrequencies of the present hair cell model was ranged from 10^5 to 10^6Hz, and there were various types of vibration modes. Furthermore, it was found that the rootlet of the present hair cell model supported signal stabilities of transduction electric current flow.
