<p class="MsoPlainText">But, if the cochlea can't handle what the fft serves up, the brain doesn't get the information it expects, and so the sound is garbled. The torture of deafness is not only loss of volume but that one clearly hears what just as clearly
could not have been said. This the dream-like quality of mis-hearing, where the deaf person hears some wildly improbable utterance rather than any that might be expected. I keep offering the idea (in the hope of being contradicted) that such mishearings
violate a general principle of perception that, <i>ceteris paribus</i>, we see what we expect to see.

<p class="MsoPlainText">Clearly the diagram is non-sense, right? It depicts amplitude but claims to provide frequency or wave length data. But both of the latter require differential “representation”, right. Moreover, the depiction of the cochlea as flat
and “unrolled” is one of those “assume-a-spherical-cow” things. Cows aren’t spherical and cochlea aren’t flat AND they ARE cooped up in a bony spiral. How does that distort the wave as it sloshes around the spiral, constantly turning right? And what about
back waves arising from the pulsing of the lower window? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">They do frequency-lowering with dedicated FFT hardware, it sounds like. That sounds more like brain issue than cochlea issue?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Right exactly. But the hearing aid is BEFORE the cochlea. So if hearing aids are crap, it must be because they do something to the sound that the cochea cannot adjust to. So, in Mike's absence, land with the help of Frank's diagram,
let's take this step by step. The sound enters the external ear and knocks on the tympanic membrane. The membrane, in turn operates the tiny bones of the stapes, which in turn compress the inner<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">membrane. So in what way is a digitized, analysed sound ill suited to what<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">If I remember correctly, this wasn't Mike's argument. It was *not* a question of sampling rate nor one of range. Instead, I believe, it had to do with architecture, the Spatio-temporal relationship that the neurons at the cochlea have
to one another, and the training our nervous system undergoes when we are young to make sense of this data.<o:p></o:p></p>
