Mechanism of Sound Detection in Human Hearing System Based on Extraordinary Acoustic Transmission

Apart from medical/biological understandings and widely accepted V. Bekesy’s traveling wave theory for human hearing system, this paper proposes a new sound detection theory based on extraordinary acoustic transmission. From engineering point of view, resonance on enlarged hair cell models including a set of membrane and pin-hole are demonstrated theoretically. This new idea can be applied to μm-scale super compact hair cells to account for mechanism of human hearing system.
