2 Structure of the ear I.

3 Structure of the ear II.

4 The cochlea

5 The organ of Corti I.

6 The organ of Corti II.

7 The organ of Corti III.

8 Frequency distribution inside of the cochlea topology Traveling wave Traveling wave

9 How the outer hearing cells are functioning

10 The sound Source of sound Propagation medium

11 The sound Source of sound: vibration of elastic bodies causes pressure difference (for example: tuning fork, string, vocal chords) Propagation medium: vibration of the sound source spreads as a pressure wave (longitudinal wave) Physical parameters: frequency, amplitude, phase, etc.

12 The sound are longitudinal wave

13 The spread of sound

14 Period time The sound I t[s] Wave lenght I x[m]

15 Frequency(f or ν) Periods taking place per time unit Unit: f=1/s = 1 Hz We hear different sounds with different frequencies as different pitched sounds.

16 Amplitude Intensity of sound Intensity of sound: Magnitude of sound energy passing perpendicularly through one unit of the spreading surface: [I] = 1 W/m 2 Amplitude: air-pressure change caused by vibration: [P] = 1 Pa Formula: I = P 2 /d*v d: medium density, v: spreading velocity of sound

17 The decibel scale (db) Bel: log 10 of two sound intensities: 1 Bel = 10 db (SPL = Sound Pressure Level) Base level: the human ear can sense it at 1 khz: I 0 = W/m 2, P 0 = 20 µpa Discomfort level: I ucl = 1 W/m 2, P ucl = 20 Pa Dynamic range: log 10 (10-12 ) = 120 db
