A phenomenological model of the germination of the cochlear microphonic of the guinea pig is presented which incorporates sharp tuning and nonlinear growth of the vibration of the cochlear partition, and nonlinear transduction of this response by a single linear array of hair cells (assumed to be the outer hair cells). The contribution to the microphonic potential from each hair cell generator is also assumed to decay exponentially with distance from the hair cell. Using experimentally obtained estimates for the parameters a good agreement between the theoretical microphonic tuning curves and growth functions was obtained without recourse to complex micromechanical motion of the cochlear partition, electrical tuning of the hair cells or a contribution from the inner hair cells of the cochlea.
