Reducing tectorial membrane viscoelasticity enhances spontaneous otoacoustic emissions and compromises the detection of low level sound

The mammalian cochlea is able to detect faint sounds due to the presence of an active nonlinear feedback mechanism that boosts cochlear vibrations of low amplitude. Because of this feedback, self-sustained oscillations called spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) can often be measured in the ear...
