Analysis of the Mechanical Properties of the Human Tympanic Membrane and Its Influence on the Dynamic Behaviour of the Human Hearing System

The difficulty to estimate the mechanical properties of the tympanic membrane (TM) is a limitation to understand the sound transmission mechanism. In this paper, based on finite element calculations, the sensitivity of the human hearing system to these properties is evaluated. The parameters that de...
