Hearing loss is determined by the diapason change of perceived ear sound frequencies and intensity. Cochlear tonotopicity represents the relationship between stimulation frequency f and place ℓ along the cochlea by the equation of the acoustic-wave hearing model at before-receptors stage ℓ(f) = Lo.22log(f/fmo), where Lo = 32 mm – the cochlear duct length, fmo = 20 kHz – maxima frequency of audible sound. Age-related frequencies standards can be represented by f(t)=fmoe–rt, where r=0.01 year–1 – high-frequency loss factor sound. Using both relations together, we get the length of the cochlear duct for T years LT = Lo.22log(fT/fmo). Destruction of the cochlear duct is exposed apex experiencing cyclical exposure to sound, which represents a decline of frequency fmo. The real length of the cochlear duct LR determined by the same ratio at a frequency fT = fmaxR, established audiometric. Treatment (pharmacological or physical therapy) causes a change in the physical and audiometric properties of inner ear structures. Daily monitoring of the upper frequency sound (fmaxX) determines the effective (useful) the length of the cochlear duct LX. Value LX/LR can be a criterion of treatment effectiveness: LX/LR →1 when the treatment is effective.

The light propagation through system a polarizer-analyzer is investigated on the basis of quantum conceptions about the nature of light. It is shown, that Malus law based on principles of classical electrodynamics not completely takes into account all effects which can occur at the light propagation through system a polarizer-analyzer. The phenomenon of possible change of frequency of light in particular drops out, for example in the region of X-ray radiation. The deduction of Malus law based on quantum principles is given. For comparison the differential effective section of interaction of a photon and electron with take into account of rotation of a plane of polarization of a photon in Compton's effect is found.

Aim - definition of perceived timbre of sounds (tones) as hearing quality; determining the criterion of hearing quality and assessment of effectiveness of the prevention and treatment of hearing disorders and concomitant pathologies. Materials. Audiometric indicators obtained with the use of all-frequency sound generator in patients with hearing disorders. Methods. Audiometric method with the use of allfrequency sound generator; methods of mathematical calculation and analysis. Results. The performed experiments and computer simulation showed that the timbre of perceived sound represents the hearing quality. Hearing quality criterion can be used to assess the effectiveness of treatment of hearing disorders and concomitant pathologies, medical manipulations and physical therapy for rapid control and monitoring of the hearing state. Conclusions. Assessment of the hearing quality and the effectiveness of preventive and therapeutic measures. Results of the study are safe and reproducible; monitoring is fast, visualized and reliable.
