A modified Floating Mass Transducer (FMTbig) used as a middle ear microphone– Temporal bone measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a preliminary work it could be shown in temporal bone model that the standard FMT (FMTstand) used principle as middle ear microphone. The main limitation is sensitivity too low for practical use. A modified FMTbig (coil and magnet optimizations) was examined with regard to its microphone properties speech recordings were played directly patient’s CI via Bluetooth first time.

An increasing number of (those with severe and profound sensorineural hearing loss, SSHL / PSHL) have benefited from cochlear implants (CIs). The exterior components of CIs, including the speech processing system, exterior coil, power supply component, and microphone (sensor), can be attract attention and inconvenient, may embarrass patients, can limit patients’ social activities, can cause the...
متن کاملVibration Modeling and Design of Piezoelectric Floating Mass Transducer for Implantable Middle Ear Hearing Devices
In this paper, a simple piezoelectric floating mass transducer (PFMT) for implantable middle ear hearing devices (IMEHDs) is proposed and its modeling and designing are studied. The transducer which can be implanted in the meddle ear consists of a PMN-PT multi-layered piezoelectric actuator, an elastic material, and a metal case. The proposed transducer has a simple structure and the force gene...
متن کاملTemporal bone meningioma involving the middle ear: A case report.
Meningioma is a common intracranial tumor involving the meninges. The localization of this type of tumor is rarely extracranial due to its typically low invasive properties. Furthermore, invasion of the middle ear is exceptional. The present study reported a case of meningioma extending into the middle ear from the middle cranial fossa through the tegmen tympani. The clinical and pathological c...
متن کاملSimulations and Measurements of Human Middle Ear Vibrations Using Multi-Body Systems and Laser-Doppler Vibrometry with the Floating Mass Transducer
The transfer characteristic of the human middle ear with an applied middle ear implant (floating mass transducer) is examined computationally with a Multi-body System approach and compared with experimental results. For this purpose, the geometry of the middle ear was reconstructed from μ-computer tomography slice data and prepared for a Multi-body System simulation. The transfer function of th...
