Cochlear mechanics is known to be energized by motility of outer hair cells. This study explored significance of diametric changes of outer hair cells that is usually neglected in cochlear mechanics. Several different mathematical models will be presented to show that diametric changes of outer hair cells can affect deflections of the basilar membrance in a very sensitive pattern under certain naturally possible situations.
