Questions for proponents of Bekesy’s theory

Abstract:

The theory of hearing called Bekesy’s traveling wave theory, announced in 1928 by a young engineer from Budapest, Georg Bekesy (1899-1972), was revised and supplemented many times. In 1961 it was awarded the Nobel Prize. It still contains several ambiguities that require analysis. The most important points requiring clarification include: 1. Sound wave resonance in the cochlear fluids with the transverse wave of the basilar membrane.
2. Own vibrations of the basilar membrane.
3. Frequency resolution associated with the basilar membrane.
4. Transmission of information through the cochlear fluid.
5. Tip-link mechanism.
6. Amplification of quiet sounds by OHC contraction
7. The pathway of auditory information conducted to the receptor.

KeyWords:sound wave, basilar membrane, own vibrations, resonance
