In the region where a sinusoidal wave in the cochlea reaches its maximum amplitude, the long-wave (or one-dimensional) model of the cochlea is deficient. In this region a short-wave model is more appropriate. However, in its current form, the short-wave model supports only waves in one direction. Therefore, it cannot cope with reflection effects associated with, e.g., inhomogeneities. Theoretical explorations of creation and internal reflection of otoacoustic emissions have almost exclusively been based on the long-wave model. In this article the road is paved for future explorations on a generalized form of the short-wave model, one that supports forward as well as backward waves, and thus can include internal reflections.
在耳蜗中正弦波达到其最大振幅的区域,耳蜗的长波(或一维)模型存在缺陷。在该区域,短波模型更为合适。然而,就其目前的形式而言,短波模型仅支持一个方向的波。因此,它无法应对与例如不均匀性相关的反射效应。耳声发射的产生和内部反射的理论探索几乎完全基于长波模型。本文为未来对短波模型的广义形式进行探索铺平了道路,这种广义形式的短波模型既支持向前波也支持向后波,因此可以包括内部反射。
