Re: Circuit model of the middle ear - searching for publicly avaliable models

Dear Felipe,

you might be interested in following circuit model paper:

O'Connor KN, Puria S (2008) Middle-ear circuit model parameters based on a population of human ears. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 123:197-211. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18177151

I am happy to share the MATLAB implementation of the model. We have also implemented a finite element model of the human middle ear, which has been a challenge. Happy to discuss details offline.

Dear List members,

In our laboratory there is a research on the development of middle ear transducers for possible application on implantable hearing aids.

As a first step towards this goal, we decided to compare results from two different middle ear models: a FEM and a circuit model.

Due the lack of publicly avaliable data, we are building our own middle ear FEM from a CAD file.

Now our team started to search for circuit models of the middle ear. 

Does anyone know the existence of publicly available of it?

Kind regards,
