Stimulation methods of air-conducted (AC) and bone conduction (BC) hearing. In AC stimulation, a distributed pressure is applied on the TM, with the outer bony shell of the cochlea, ends of the ligaments, and edge of the tympanic annulus being fixed. On the other hand, the BC input was stimulated on the screw elements at the BAHA position. The force was applied in the longitudinal direction of the screw and represented as a unit vector.
