Figure 4.

Comparison of the FE model-derived TM (at the umbo) displacement and stapes footplate displacement with the measurements from five human temporal bones with intact TM’s in magnitude and phase angle. The input sound pressure level was 90 dB at 2 mm from the umbo in the ear canal. The thick broken lines represent the model results. The thin solid lines represent the curves obtained from the individual temporal bones with the mean curves (thick solid lines). [(A) and (C)] TM displacement; [(B) and (D)] footplate displacement.
