The model of the formation of the exiting factor on the neuron endings of the cochlear nerve taking into consideration the feedback mechanisms described in recent experimental investigations is proposed. It is shown that the functioning of the feedback in the model give the possibility to explain the principle of action of the mechanism of enhancement of mechanical duct tuning which produce exquisite tuning, reflected in the tuning properties of cochlear nerve fibers. At the same time the utilisation in the model the mechanism of the lateral inhibition provide it the property similar to the effect of inhibition of the neurone response to a given tone signal when another tone signal arises in a nearby frequency region.
