Abstract
Auditory organs exhibit amplificatory phenomena whose origin is unclear. Normal human hearing, for example, requires the production of energy by some element within the cochlea. The authors show that individual hair bundles produce transient active movements. They characterize these motions and suggest that they may underlie auditory-organ amplificatory phenomena such as the cochlear amplifier and otoacoustical emissions.
