Finite element modeling has emerged as an essential tool in understanding the complex biomechanics of the middle ear. By discretising the intricate anatomical structures—such as the tympanic membrane ...

The tympanic cavity was accessed through the mastoid process. The facial nerve was removed while the posterior wall of the external auditory canal was preserved. The integrity, continuity, and ...

Leveraging machine learning and cutting-edge imaging, USC students and otolaryngology professor pioneer new methods for detecting middle ear diseases University of Southern California Understanding ...

Millions of years ago marine animals had hearing organs that allowed them to detect sounds in the water. When land dwelling animals evolved they now had to detect environmental sounds that traveled ...
