Abstract: In this study, we develop the active micromechnical model of the cochlea in order to describe mathematically the displacement of cochlear partition, Then we study the effect of stiffness on the response of the basilar membrane (BM). As a result, the decrease of the maximum displacement of the Basilar membrane was observed and presented numerically, these observations contribute to understand that the mechanism of hearing loss may be the result of altered cochlear micromechanics.
