| Abstract: Human hearing system is very interesting for
investigation. There are several parts in hearing system, but the
most important parts in sense of conversion of audio signal in
electrical impulse are cochlea and organ of Corti. The reason
why scientists investigate mechanical behavior of human
hearing system is hearing loss – a health problem that affects a
large part of the world's human population. That problem can
be caused by aging, as consequence of mechanical injuries or
some disease or even can be congenital. The experimental
auditory measurements provide information only about the
level of hearing loss, but without information what is happening
in the hearing system. Therefore, it is very helpful to develop a
numerical model of the parts of hearing system such as cochlea
and organ of Corti to demonstrate process of conversion of
acoustic signals into signals recognizable by human brain. Two
numerical models are developed to investigate hearing
problems: tapered three-dimensional cochlea model and twodimensional
cochlea cross-section model with organ of Corti. |
