Characterization of stimulus to inner ear

For interpretation of cochlear experiments

Often, the input to the cochlea is characterized by measuring

sound pressure in front of the eardrum, or
the vibration amplitude of one point on the eardrum

but the actual cochlear input is determined by the middle ear

After Cull (1989): The Sourcebook of medical illustration, Parthenon, Carnforth, xxiii+481 pp.
