1 THE OUTER HAIR CELL MOTILITY MUST BE BASED ON A TONIC CHANGE IN THE MEMBRANE VOLTAGE: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE COCHLEAR AMPLIFIER Jont B. Allen Mountainside, NJ and Paul Fahey Scranton Pa Dec. 4, 2002
2 ASA Cancun 2 Dec. 5, 2002 Abstract It has been widely assumed that the function of the OHC is to increase the sensitivity and frequency selectivity of the cochlea via a phasic OHC voltage, which controls the soma length. This action is called the cochlear amplifier. According to this view the length of the OHC is assumed to follow the stimulus to the upper frequency limit of hearing, in a phasic manner (cycle by cycle), adding power at the signal frequency. We propose an alternative view that the OHC controls the dynamic range in a parametric, or tonic manner, via the cells axial stiffness. In this case the change in gain seen by the IHC does not require a phasic response at high frequencies. The OHC could mediate a fast acting gain control, via impedance changes, that follows the OHC membrane tonic voltage envelope. Given a level dependent change in dynamic range (i.e., dynamic range compression), the tuning and sensitivity would necessarily change. Our analysis and conclusions are based upon a re-interpretation of existing mammalian outer hair cell (OHC) studies using a generalized admittance matrix formulation of the OHC, that relates the plasma membrane voltage and current to the soma axial force and velocity.
3 ASA Cancun 3 Dec. 5, 2002 Traditional view of the OHC s role Power gain based on a phasic cochlear amplifier Increased sensitivity Increase tuning (i.e., narrow bandwidth) T. Gold 1948, Davis 1983 and many followers
4 ASA Cancun 4 Dec. 5, 2002 Traditional view of the OHC s role Increased sensitivity Increase tuning (i.e., narrow bandwidth) Alternative view of OHC s role Frequency dependent compression of the dynamic range CILIA DISPLACEMENT (log units) 60 db 2:1 compression f = f cf linear (1:1) f f cf 120 db SPL ACOUSTIC INTENSITY (db SPL)
5 ASA Cancun 5 Dec. 5, 2002 Why is compression necessary? Dynamic range of the IHC is less than 63 db Membrane thermal noise voltage of IHC is given by: V min m = kt/c m 20 µv RMS The maximum RMS IHC membrane voltage is V max m = V stria / mv RMS 30 mv/20 µv 63 db hair cell dynamic range 120 db Acoustic dynamic range is It follows that cochlear compression is essential CILIA DISPLACEMENT (log units) 60 db 2:1 compression f = f cf linear (1:1) f f cf 120 db SPL ACOUSTIC INTENSITY (db SPL)
6 ASA Cancun 6 Dec. 5, 2002 How does cochlear compression work? We need an OHC model to answer this. The following is a chronological review of OHC models, from the Thévenin point of view.

Relative length change L z L z 4% 1985 Relative Capacitance change C m C m 40% 1989 Axial stiffness change K z K z 400% 1999 The OHC is a voltage controlled stiffness. The model OHC has no area motor The model OHC is not piezoelectric The wagging tail L z (V m ) is not the dog K z (V m ). Length change, or electromotility, is a simple consequenc of stiffness change. Dallos & He 2001

17 ASA Cancun 17 Dec. 5, 2002 Tonic response dominates the phasic Since the phasic voltage V m (f) 1/f, the tonic component [V m (f < f c ) const.] must dominate at high stimulus frequencies f >> f c The tonic V m changes with efferent stimulation the tonic component can change the BM sensitivity Both arguments lead to the conclusion that: BM compression is controlled by the tonic component
