Reverse transduction measured in the living cochlea by low-coherence heterodyne interferometry
Mammalian hearing is remarkable for its sensitivity and frequency selectivity. Here, the authors show that outer hair cell-generated force, which amplifies sound-induced vibrations inside the cochlea, is responsible for these traits.
