Fast time-domain solution of the cochlear transmission line model in real-time applications.

Abstract

A fast numerical time-domain solution for a one-dimensional cochlear transmission-line model was proposed for real-time applications. In this approach, the three-dimensional solver developed by Murakami [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 150(4), 2589-2599 (2021)] was modified to develop a solution for the one-dimensional model. This development allows the solution to accurately and quickly calculate cochlear responses. The present solution can solve the model in real-time under coarse grid conditions. However, under fine-grid conditions, the computation time is significantly longer than the duration of the signal. Nevertheless, calculations can be performed under the fine grid condition, which previously required much computation time. This fact is essential to applications.
