The linear vs log scales
Linear
• equal distances represent equal differences
0 100 200 300 400 500
100 200 400 800 1600 3200-1 0 1 2 3 4
Log
• equal distances represent equal ratios
e.g. Piano keyboard frequencies
Octave = doubling of frequency
basilar membrane has log repn of frequency

deciBel (dB) scale
Sound A is x dB more intense than sound B when:
x = 10*log10 (energy of A / energy of B)
or x = 20*log10 (amp of A / amp of B)
So if A is 20 watts and B is 10 watts
x = 10*log10 (20/10) = 10*0.3 = 3dB
You can usually just hear a difference of 1dB (jnd)

Repetition rate is the difference in frequency between the two sine-wave components

Reponse of basilar membraneto sine waves
Each point on the membrane acts like bandpass filter tuned to a different frequency: high freq at base, low at apex.
Each point vibrates at frequency of pure tone (-> phase locking)
QuickTime™ and aAnimation decompressor
are needed to see this picture.

Excitation patterns(envelope of excitation)
Basilar membrane excitation pattern is like a spectrum

Human auditory bandwidth
At 1 kHz the bandwidth is about 130 Hz;
at 5 kHz the bandwidth is about 650 Hz.
BW = freq / 8 roughly

Normal auditory non-linearities
• Normal loudness growth (follows Weber’s Law,
which is logarithmic, not linear)
• Combination tones
• Two-tone suppression
• Oto-acoustic emissions
![Page 28: Hearing and Deafness 2. Ear as a frequency analyzer](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062408/568143e7550346895db06d58/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Conductive vs Sensori-neural deafness
Conductive Sensori-neural Sensori-neural
Origin Middle-ear Cochlea (IHCs) Cochlea (OHCs)
Thresholds Raised Raised Raised
Filter bandwidths Normal Normal Increased
Loudness growth Normal Normal Increased (Recruitment
Becomes linear, so
No combination tones
Or two-tone suppression
Mostly a combination of OHC and IHC damage

Symptoms of SNHL
• Raised thresholds:
helped by amplification
• Wider bandwidths:
no help possible
• Recruitment (restricted dynamic range):
partly helped by automatic gain controls in
modern digital aids
• Often accompanied by tinnitus
