| Abstract: | Statistical properties of acoustic emissions from a human ear are measured and compared with the theory of quantum-limited oscillations. Theory and experiment are in excellent agreement, both in qualitative and quantitative features, strongly supporting previous theoretical arguments for the importance of quantum noise in the inner ear. |
