The discussion centers on the search for authoritative literature regarding ear acoustics and mechanics. A Master's thesis by Marko Tapio Hiipakka from 2008, titled "Measurement Apparatus and Modelling Techniques of Ear Canal Acoustics," is highlighted as a valuable resource. Additionally, the book "Cochlear Mechanics: Introduction to a Time Domain Analysis of the Nonlinear Cochlea" by Hendrikus Duifhuis, published in 2012, is recommended for those interested in the mechanics of the cochlea. Participants express interest in finding comprehensive books or papers that delve deeper into these topics.
