This review article attempts to analyze the various research studies conducted in developing
the models to evaluate the anatomy of the middle ear, its biomechanics, and the applications …

This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

Micro-prosthetics requires the fabrication of mechanically robust and personalized
components with sub-millimetric feature accuracy. Three-dimensional (3D) printing …

Objective: Reflectance measured in the ear canal offers a noninvasive method to monitor the
acoustic properties of the middle ear, and few systematic measurements exist on the effects …

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

Objectives: The development of acoustic reflectance measurements may lead to
noninvasive tests that provide information currently unavailable from standard audiometric …

This letter presents a hybrid concentric tube robot which covers the middle ear volume for
exhaustive ablation of residual cholesteatoma. The proposed robotic system combines a …

Since the 1940s, various attempts have been made to treat peripheral tinnitus by way of
intratympanic injection. This administration procedure requires only low concentrations of …

The finite element (FE) model of the human ear has been developed to analyze the middle
ear and cochlea function in relation to the ear structures. However, the energy absorbance …

The objective occlusion effect induced by bone-conducted stimulation refers to the low
frequency acoustic pressure increase that results from occluding the ear canal opening. This …
