概括
新的头 (SH) - 合器为Vibrant Soundbridge植入物提供了与头 (LP) - 合器相比更好的声音传输,特别是在更高的频率下. 这为缺乏incus.的患者提供了可行的替代方案.
科学领域:
- 耳鼻喉科 耳鼻喉科 耳鼻喉科
- 生物医学工程 生物医学工程
- 听力植入物 听力植入物
背景情况:
- 振动声桥植入器的浮式质量传感器 (FMT) 传统上附着在长过程 (LP) 上.
- 对于没有骨的患者,振动造形Clip合器附着在头 (SH) 上,但其高度可能会导致耳膜接触.
- 一个新的SH-合器降低了高度,但改变了刺激角度,需要进行性能评估.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较新的SH-coupler与传统LP-coupler的声音传输大小和质量.
- 评估SH-coupler的有效性,作为Vibrant声桥接收器中针头合的替代品.
主要方法:
- 激光多普勒振动测量用于10个人类尸体骨.
- 在使用LP和SH合器进行FMT刺激时,记录了带和圆窗运动的测量.
主要成果:
- 与LP-coupler相比,SH-coupler在中高频率 (1023-3577Hz) 中的圆窗中获得的收益明显更高.
- 在低频率 (382-500Hz) 的SH-coupler中观察到较低的增益.
- 总波扭曲率高于10%的情况是罕见的,并且在高频率的合器之间是可比的.
结论:
- 在中高频段,SH合器比LP合器提供了更高的性能.
- 它代表了与Clip-coupler相比较和可行的替代方案,取决于患者特定的解剖学.

Anatomy of the Ear

Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...

The Auditory Ossicles

The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...
