The tympanic membrane is a key component of the human auditory apparatus which is a
complex biomechanical system, devoted to sound reception and perception. Over the past …

Anatomists and zoologists who study middle ear morphology are often interested to know
what the structure of an ear can reveal about the auditory acuity and hearing range of the …

Sound-induced motion of the surface of the human tympanic membrane (TM) was studied by
stroboscopic holographic interferometery, which measures the amplitude and phase of the …

Objective: This study compares measurements of ear-canal reflectance (ECR) to other
objective measurements of middle ear function including audiometry, umbo velocity (VU) …

Sound-induced motions of the surface of the tympanic membrane (TM) were measured
using stroboscopic holography in cadaveric human temporal bones at frequencies between …

For over 40 years, finite-element models of the mechanics of the middle ear have been
mostly deterministic in nature. Deterministic models do not take into account the effects of …

A new anatomically-accurate Finite Element (FE) model of the tympanic membrane (TM) and
malleus was combined with measurements of the sound-induced motion of the TM surface …

Tympanic membrane (TM) perforation is a global clinical dilemma. It occurs as a
consequence of object penetration, blast trauma, barotrauma, and middle ear diseases. TM …

In the last decades, finite-element models of the middle ear have been widely used to
predict the middle-ear vibration outputs. Even with the simplest linear assumption for …

Opto-electronic computer holographic measurements were made of the tympanic membrane
(TM) in cadaveric chinchillas. Measurements with two laser wavelengths were used to …
