- An Inner Ear Primer - Tulane University
Brief overview of the inner ear functioning and the main pathophysiology of the auditory and vestibular systems. http://www.mcl.tulane.edu/departments/pathology/fermin/InnerEarPrimer.html - Ear Anatomy
A tour of the anatomy of outer, middle, and inner ears. http://www.earaces.com/anatomy.htm - Eaton-Peabody Laboratory of Auditory Physiology
A consortium between the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Research Laboratory of Electronics at M.I.T, Harvard Medical School, and the Massachusetts General Hospital. Its charter is basic research in Auditory Physiology. http://www.mit.edu/~ajmiller/epl/index.html - How the Ear Works - Nature's Solutions for Listening
This site covers the process by which sound is converted to activity in the audiotory nerve and is aimed at a broad audience. The focus is more on hair cell physiology than on cochlear mechanics. http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/oto/research/cochlea/Volta/index.html - Promenade 'round the cochlea
The aim of this regularly updated site is to assist the teaching of the auditory system (its anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology) to medical and biology students. It may be used as well for Continuing Medical Education programs.This first version mainly addresses our current knowledge on the peripheral end organ: the cochlea. http://www.iurc.montp.inserm.fr/cric51/audition/english/start.htm - The Cochlea - graphic tour of the inner ear's machinery
This website covers a number of current topics in cochlear physiology. It is aimed at graduate students and professionals in the field and includes animations of cochlear mechanics produced from a computational model. http://www.sissa.it/bp/Cochlea/index.html - WHAT ARE AUDITORY EVOKED POTENTIALS?
This site includes an overview of auditory evoked potentials including the Auditory Brainstem Response, the Middle Latency Response, Mismatch Negativity, and Auditory Steady-State Responses. http://www.audiospeech.ubc.ca/haplab/aep.htm |
