悬浮振子对中耳声传播特性影响的数值研究

Numerical study on the effect of the floating mass transducer on middle ear sound transmission

  • 摘要: 为研究悬浮式中耳植入式助听装置中悬浮振子对中耳声传播特性的一些影响,建立了包括绑定悬浮振子的中耳有限元模型. 该模型基于一无任何听力损伤病史的成年志愿者的左耳,利用CT扫描和逆向成型技术建成. 模型的可靠性通过鼓膜及镫骨底板的位移计算结果与国外文献实验测得数据进行对比加以验证. 研究结果表明:悬浮振子的绑定会显著恶化中耳的高频传输特性;振子输出8.9\times10^5N的激振力才能激起100dB声压所对应的激振效果;振子在砧骨长突上的绑定位置离砧镫关节越近,高频段激振效果越好.

     

    Abstract: To overcome some inherent problems in conventional hearingaids, such as low gain at high frequencies, discomfort, and acousticfeedback, floating mass type for middle ear implant system are currentlyunder development. The floating mass transducer (FMT) is the most importantcomponent of these devices. For the purpose of investigating the effect ofthe FMT to middle ear sound transmission, a middle ear finite element modelwith FMT clamped was constructed. This model was built based on a completeset of computerized tomography section images of a healthy volunteer's leftear by reverse engineering technology. The validity of this model wasconfirmed by comparing the motion of the tympanic membrane and stapesfootplate obtained by this model with published experimental measurements onhuman temporal bones. The result shows that FMT produces mass loading effectprominently at high frequencies, the force required to drive the incus tothe equivalent of 100\,dB SPL is about 8.9 dynes, and placing the clamp pointof the FMT close to the incudostapedial joint enhances the driving effect.
