Abstract

Several properties of a spontaneous oto-acoustic emission are summarized (frequency spectrum, amplitude distribution, suppression, phase-lock). The emission is generated by an active filtering process in the inner ear. It can be described by a simple electronic model. Characteristics of the emission signal are compared with those of spontaneous voltage fluctuations in a hair cell.
