“…The cochlear affective response peaking at about 90 dB SPL [ 26 ] and the saccular affective response peaking at about 130 dB SPL [ 8 ]. Indeed, auditory sensitivity of the saccule can contribute to intensity discrimination of natural sounds (voice intonation in speech, singing, crowd actions,and percussive music) [ 7 , 23 , 27 ].…”

“…The high response of the saccule allows phonemic self-regulation, compensating the low/absent tone-verbal feedback. The specific sensitivity of the saccule in the low frequency range, and its representation in cortical areas suggests the integration of the saccular information in neuronal networks [14]. …”

“…The data available for hearing impaired subjects show some evidence of changes in the pattern of discriminability for tones above saccular threshold [5]. Compensatory role of saccule in deaf children and adults makes this organ the ending point of the phonetic information (perception) but also the starting point of its regulation (production) [14]. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the possibility that the saccule may contribute to human' hearing.…”
