Abstract

The theory of hearing declared in 1928 by George von Bekesy under the name of ‘travelling wave theory’ fails to explain all the processes related to hearing in accordance with the current state of knowledge, albeit complemented on many occasions. Perfect new research methods of various Centres around the world as well as analyses of published studies allow one to form a new philosophy of hearing. Many beliefs presented as part of the former theory have become a thing of the past. A new vision of hearing has been put forward in a published paper titled Submolecular Theory of Hearing
