Hearing loss, a prevalent condition affecting millions, often arises from disruptions in the complex process of sound transmission and perception in the human ear. This study aims to explore the mechanical impact of middle-ear fluid on auditory function using a lumped parameter model, simplifying the ear’s biomechanics into an analyzable system of masses, springs, and dampers. By simulating both normal and pathological ear states, the model effectively demonstrates the relationship between middle-ear fluid and hearing loss, offering valuable insights into the auditory system's dynamic behavior.

摘要

Hearing loss, a prevalent condition affecting millions, often arises from disruptions in the complex process of sound transmission and perception in the human ear. This study aims to explore the mechanical impact of middle-ear fluid on auditory function using a lumped parameter model, simplifying the ear’s biomechanics into an analyzable system of masses, springs, and dampers. By simulating both normal and pathological ear states, the model effectively demonstrates the relationship between middle-ear fluid and hearing loss, offering valuable insights into the auditory system's dynamic behavior. This research highlights the practical application of lumped models in bridging detailed anatomical knowledge with audiology and the advancement of hearing aid technologies, supporting future developments in medical device engineering.
