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.</p>","PeriodicalId":73538,"journal":{"name":"JASA express letters","volume":"4 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142001495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
