The chinchilla animal model for noise-induced hearing loss has an extensive history
spanning more than 50 years. Many behavioral, anatomical, and physiological …

Human temporal bone specimens are used in experiments measuring the sound transfer of
the middle ear, which is the standard method used in the development of active and passive …

The study evaluates the accuracy of predicting intracochlear pressure during bone
conduction stimulation using promontory velocity and ear canal pressure, as less invasive …

Introduction Injuries to the peripheral auditory system are among the most common results of
high intensity impulsive acoustic exposure. Prior studies of high intensity sound transmission …

Objectives: To compare contralateral to ipsilateral stimulation with percutaneous and
transcutaneous bone conduction implants. Background: Bone conduction implants (BCIs) …

This study delves into the intricate mechanics of human middle ear implants by examining a
lumped parameter model with five degrees of freedom to estimate sound transfer. The ASTM …

Background The generally accepted method to assess the functionality of novel bone
conduction implants in a preclinical stage is to experimentally measure the vibratory …

Active transcutaneous bone conduction (BC) devices offer the benefit of improved power
output compared to passive transcutaneous devices and remove the risk of skin infections …

Bone conduction implants enable patients to hear via vibrations transmitted to the skull. The
main constraint of current bone conduction implants is their maximum output force level …

The human tympanic membrane (TM) and ossicles are generally considered to act as a
linear system as they conduct low and moderate level environmental sounds to the cochlea …
