| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to elucidate vibrational characteristics of human middleear, a simulation model of tympanic membrane and auditory ossicles is constructed considering mechanical characteristics of muscles tensor tympani and muscles of auditory ossicles. Sound-induced vibration of tympanic membrane and auditory ossicles was measured in volunteers. The responses of the simulation model agree qualitatively with the experimental results. The auditory ossicles vibrate with the same frequency as that of applied sound pressure with stimuli up to 10 kHz. The sound pressure transmitted to cochlea is analyzed by using the simulation model, and the influence of the mechanical characteristics of the muscles on the transmitted sound pressure is considered.
