“…It also has strong parallels with the ''regenerative receiver'' described by Gold 23 and with surface acoustic wave ͑SAW͒ resonator devices. 15,16 If SLR waves do operate in the cochlea as supposed here, it would confirm some long-standing conjectures that fluid flow in the subtectorial space was crucial for IHC stimulation 24,25 and would relate to a recent speculation 26 that the cochlear amplifier was a fluid pump.…”

“…It is now possible to consider that the outer hair cells, responsible for the activity, could be affected by static pressure. This proposed sensitivity to static pressure is a logical counterpart to a recent speculation that outer hair cells are pressure sensors and respond to the fast pressure wave signal [20,21]. Extending the idea, the proposal is that outer hair cells respond to static (d.c.) pressure as well as alternating (a.c.) pressure.…”

“…In this respect, there is no fundamental difference between the standard model and the feedback model elaborated here. However, an alternative picture, and one favoured by considerations that go beyond what can be set out here (Bell 2003(Bell , 2004(Bell , 2005(Bell , 2007, is that the OHCs might be stimulated directly by the fast cochlear pressure wave that sweeps through the cochlear fluids at the speed of sound in water (some 1,500 m/s). Recent research indicates that a fast pressure wave is needed to explain a number of fast cochlear responses (Guinan et al 2005;Siegel et al 2005), and in this case no travelling wave excitation is required.…”
