Pressure in turn one of the scala tympani (s.t.) was measured close to the basilar membrane (b.m.) and at additional positions as the pressure sensor approached and/or withdrew from the b.m. The s.t. pressure measured within about 100 mum of the b.m. varied rapidly in space at frequencies around the region's best frequency. Very close to the b.m. the s.t. pressure was tuned and scaled nonlinearly with sound level. The scala vestibuli (s.v.) pressure was measured at one position close to the stapes within seconds of the s.t. pressure and served primarily as a reference pressure. The driving pressure across the organ of Corti and the b.m. velocity were derived from the pressure data. Both were tuned and nonlinear. Therefore, their ratio, the specific acoustic impedance of the organ of Corti complex, was relatively untuned, and only subtly nonlinear. The impedance was inspected specifically for negative resistance (amplification) and resonance. Both were detected in some instances; taken as a whole, the current results constrain the possibilities for these qualities. (C) 2001 Acoustical Society of America.
