Depictions of the FE middle-ear and inner-ear models used in the experiments performed for Group I, with various sizes (rows) and locations (columns) of the superior-semicircular-canal dehiscence (SSCD). The locations of the SSCD in the first row (A, B, and C), second row (D, E, and F), and third row (G, H, and I) are called ‘top’, ‘center’, and ‘bottom’, respectively, while the sizes of the SSCD in the first column (A, D, and G), second column (B, E, and H), and third column (C, F, and I) have respective areas of 0.78, 1.54, and 3.27 mm2. The black arrows point to the SSCD in each case. The same x, y, and z axes as Fig. 1 are used here.
