On the propagation velocity of disturbances along a basilar membrane of the human auditory system

The auditory system of a person plays a leading role in their life and, above all, in the processes of information exchange based on sound signals, especially during oral speech. In this regard, many countries conduct studies on the characteristics of the human sound perception based on the creation of various types of models. These are necessary for improving hearing aids, developing systems for the automatic recognition of oral speech in artificial intelligence systems and optimizing the processing of speech signals during storage and transmission of voice messages. In the framework of this paper, a method has been developed for estimating the propagation velocity of disturbances along the basilar membrane created when the oval window is exposed. Fairly simple ideas about the properties that take place in the environment of the perilymph are used - the basilar membrane of physical processes.
