Talk:Cochlear amplifier

The contents of the cochlear amplifier page did not discuss in detail the mechanisms of amplification. It is important to describe the recent research and the research that has been done in the past which contributes to the questions arising today. Of significance, it is still under question the exact mechanism of the hair bundle motor and whether or not fast and slow adaptation work together or independently. It is important to inform the public of all of the hypotheses that are arising on this topic so that future researchers can be well informed with what information is still in need of explanation.

The difficulty is to represent an evolving field like this with any approach to neutrality. Per WP:NPOV, we should have a balanced representation of various points of view. But the article was written originally by Matt Flax, so it gives a lot of weight to his own theories, which are far from mainstream. I just reverted another editor for adding an unbalanced acccount of an even more fringe theory. I'm not going to get much more involved here, but leave to those who are willing to work from published sources instead of from their own view of the field. My own view will appear in my own publications. Dicklyon (talk) 19:38, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
