A method for calculating the spectral response of a hair cell to a pure tone

Using Corey and Hudspeth's hair cell transducer function and that of Assad and Corey as models, the output of the haircell is calculated for an input of a single tone. These results are then compared with experimental data obtained by Hubbard et al. (1979) from guinea pig cochlear. The theoretical and experimental data are found to be similar for low to moderate sound pressure levels.
