Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Simulation

Context:

  • Middle ear reconstruction is crucial for hearing restoration.
  • Current otosurgery training lacks direct functional feedback.
  • Evaluating the acoustic performance of reconstructed ossicular chains is challenging.

Purpose:

  • To introduce a new experimental model for functional simulation of middle ear reconstruction.
  • To provide direct acoustic feedback on the quality of ossicular chain reconstruction.
  • To enhance training and evaluation methods in otosurgery.

Summary:

  • A novel experimental model reconstructs the tympanic membrane and ossicular chain for sound transmission to an artificial inner ear receptor.
  • Acoustic feedback via headphones allows immediate optimization of prosthesis placement during simulated middle ear reconstruction.
