Hearing Science & Cochlear Mechanics

Clinical Psycoacoustics Lab
Has links to abstracts for auditory analysis.

Basic Signal Analysis
Advanced site that looks at different formulas for signal analysis. It says basic in the title, but it seems to be pretty advanced and filled full of formulas.

Acoustical Society of America
Nice site that has links to other acoustic related sites, general information about acoustics, and an area where you can listen to sounds.

Speech Reception … Virtual Tour of the Ear
Excellent site! This web site links to a large number of areas in speech perception. Some of the topics are word frequency, speech production, McGurk effect, and auditory perception.

Hearing Loss
This article is about the transduction of sound with an outline of a variety of differential diagnosis for hearing loss.

Technical Essays … UCSC Electronic Music Studios

Sound Propagation
Very nice article about the movement of sound. It has diagrams that help in the understanding of sound propagation and wavelength movement.

Hearing and Perception
Excellent article that has great pictures that help in explaining the anatomy of the ear and the perception of sound. It also has an area that you can click on to get a narrative description of the ear if the computer has a sound card.

Taking the Waveform Apart
Nice article that has information about sine and cosine function, Fourier analysis, and, sonograms and spectral analysis of sound.

Decibels
An intermediate article about the decibel and the different ways to calculate it. It looks at converting voltage or pressure ratios to decibels.

Wave and Vibration Tutorial
Good web site to get lots of valuable information. It is actually from a Physics III class. It would be good to take a look if you are currently in a physics of sound class or anything similar.

Cochlear Mechanics

Cochlear Fluids Research Laboratory
Excellent site!! This web site is a must see. It has a large volume of information about the anatomy of the ear and cochlear fluids. It has excellent pictures and graphics.

Cochlear Mechanics … Boystown
Great website with tons of information on coclear mechanics. It’s like a textbook.

Cochlear Micromechanics … Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Advanced site in cochlear mechanics. Has a few publications that are online, but the video tour has the most information online about cochlear mechanics

Cochlear Mechanic References from the Cochlear Fluids Lab
This is a publication list of articles and abstracts that were written by the Cochlear Fluids Research Lab. There is a total of nine pages.

Cochlear Mechanics Introduction
Good basic web site for seeing all the different formulas and pictures that could be helpful in understanding cochlear mechanics.
