In a recent publication [Audiology 1992;31:301-312], A. Dancer argued that direct and indirect measures of basilar membrane motion are more consistent with theories of cochlear resonance than with the traveling-wave theory. The present communication reviews empirical evidence that contradicts Dancer's argument. Such evidence--recordings of mechanical responses of the basilar and Reissner's membranes to sound--strongly supports the existence of displacement waves that propagate on the basilar membrane from the base of the cochlea toward its apex.
在最近的一篇发表文章中[《听力学》1992年;31卷:301 - 312页],A. 丹瑟认为,基底膜运动的直接和间接测量结果与耳蜗共振理论更为一致,而非与行波理论一致。本通讯回顾了与丹瑟观点相矛盾的实证证据。这类证据——基底膜和Reissner膜对声音的机械反应记录——有力地支持了位移波的存在,该位移波在基底膜上从耳蜗底部向其顶部传播。
