In the paper by CA Shera, A Tubis, and CL Talmadge, Do forward- and backward-traveling waves occur within the cochlea? Countering the critique of Nobili et al. J. Assoc. Res. Otolaryngol. 5:349–359, 2004, DOI 10.1007/s10162-004-4038-1, an error was made in printing Eq. (A13). The correct equation is below:

$$ p(x,t) = \frac{{\rho _{0} }} {{S_{0} }}{\left[ {G(x,0)\,S_{{{\text{ow}}}} \,\ifmmode\expandafter\dot\else\expandafter\.\fi{v}_{{{\text{ow}}}} (t) - {\int_0^L {b(\ifmmode\expandafter\bar\else\expandafter\=\fi{x})\,G(x,\ifmmode\expandafter\bar\else\expandafter\=\fi{x})\,\ifmmode\expandafter\dot\else\expandafter\.\fi{v}_{{{\text{bm}}}} (\ifmmode\expandafter\bar\else\expandafter\=\fi{x},t)\,d\ifmmode\expandafter\bar\else\expandafter\=\fi{x}} }} \right]} $$
