Morphological changes in the tympanic membrane associated with Haemophilus influenzae-induced acute otitis media in the chinchilla
Objective The tympanic membrane (TM) couples sound waves entering the outer ear canal
to mechanical vibrations of the ossicular chain in the middle ear. During acute otitis media
(AOM), dynamic structural changes in the TM can occur, which potentially affect sound
transmission. It has remained unclear whether TM changes contribute significantly to the
conductive hearing loss associated with human AOM. Studies that systematically and
quantitatively assess the impact of morphological and mechanical characteristics of the TM …
