I mean looking for the way to the truth in relation to hearing. The truth can be sought and it should be done. There is a lot of ambiguity in Bekesy's theory [1]. There is new knowledge that Bekesy did not have, there are new research opportunities. Looking through foreign papers, one can believe that faith in Bekesy's theory still reigns. Complex examinations of the basilar membrane are performed. The reason for the lack of a good stapedotomy result is investigated by increasing the piston…

The paper discusses the direct path of sound waves to the receptor, especially high frequencies. Attention was drawn to inertia in the middle and inner ear. The significance of the resonance of the longitudinal wave in the fluid with the transverse wave of the basilar membrane's natural vibrations was critically assessed. Problems related to the rocking movements of the stapes and the difference in the speed of the sound wave in the fluid and the traveling wave on the basilar membrane were…
