Abstract

The reconstructed middle ear consisting of a thin annular plate made of cartilage and a T-type inclined prosthesis replacing the malleus-incus-stapes chain and interposed between the stapes base and the artificial eardrum is considered. A system of non-linear differential equations describing free radially non-symmetric vibrations of the system is derived. The natural frequencies of the system in the case of linear vibrations are investigated.

Keywords

Middle ear, artificial eardrum, non-symmetric vibrations, T-type inclined prosthesis
