A recent paper by Nuttall and Dolan [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 93, 2061-2068 (1993)] on intermodulation distortion in the cochlea concluded that electrical quadratic distortion (f2-f1) came predominantly from inner hair cells (IHCs). However, they suggested that the outer hair cells provided the mechanical input that caused this even-order distortion. The data reported here describe the nonlinear components in the gross electrical and acoustic emission responses of the gerbil and suggest a mechanism by which odd-order distortion could be generated by modulation of the fast phasic motile response of outer hair cells (OHCs) by the even-order distortion signal.
纳托尔和多兰[《美国声学学会杂志》93, 2061 - 2068 (1993)]最近发表的一篇关于耳蜗内互调失真的论文得出结论，电二次失真（f2 - f1）主要来自内毛细胞（IHC）。然而，他们认为外毛细胞提供了导致这种偶数阶失真的机械输入。本文报道的数据描述了沙鼠总体电发射和声学发射响应中的非线性成分，并提出了一种机制，通过该机制偶数阶失真信号可对外毛细胞（OHC）的快速相位运动反应进行调制，从而产生奇数阶失真。
