Measuring absorbed energy in the human auditory system using finite element models: A comparison with experimental results
CONCLUSION: This boundary problem is frequent and problematic in experimental hearing test protocols: the more invasive they are, the more the results are affected. One of the main objectives of using FEMs is to explore how the experimental test conditions influence the results. Further work will still be required to uncover the relationship between middle ear structures and EA to clarify how to best use FEMs. Moreover, the FEM boundary conditions must be more representative in future work to ensure their adequate interpretation.PMID:38669493 | DOI:10.3233/THC-248001 (Source: Technology and Health Care)
