Abstract

Abstract

The paper presents a new hypothesis of the mechanisms of hearing. The new theory of hearing is: Submolecular theory of hearing. The main hearing processes take place at the molecular and electronic levels. A mechanism of information encoding within the sound wave and during signal transmission to the receptor has been proposed The transmission pathway of sound waves to the receptor undergoes changes. Attention was drawn to the importance of inertia in the middle and inner ear. The dissipation of sound wave energy from the external auditory canal to the round window has been described. The significance of the rocking movements of the stapes was discussed. An analysis was conducted of the resonance between the longitudinal wave in the cochlear fluid and the transverse wave associated with the natural vibrations of the basilar membrane. The operation of the mechanoreceptor and the auditory cell was presented, and the molecular processes of intracellular amplification were described.
