1 Haysley, Sarah and Jennings, SkylerPreliminary evidence of distorted tonotopy in HumansThe cochlea topographically arranges the frequencies of a complex sound from base (high-frequencies) to apex (low-frequencies) across the basilar membrane. From this tonotopic map, auditory neurons will phase lock to a sound's slow-varying temporal envelope (ENV) and to the faster fluctuating tempor...Distorted tonotopy; evoked potentials; hearing loss; compound action potential; envelope following response; extended high frequency hearing thresholds2024
2 Haysley, Sarah; Goodman, Shawn; White, Lydia and Jennings, SkylerOlivocochlear and middle ear muscle effects on the cochlear microphonic evoked by Swept TonesMechanisms that facilitate speech understanding in background noise are poorly understood.
