Lexicon for classifying ear-canal shapes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The ear canal is usually described as an S-shaped funnel. In attempting to classify ear-canal shapes obtained from point clouds digitized from molds of 300 ears, the problem of designing criteria for distinguishing and organizing the canal shapes arose ...

The Loudness of Suctioning in the Ear Canal. [PDF]
Cureus, 2021 Aim To determine the loudness of suctioning in the ear canal with different-sized suctions and various mediums. Aural microsuctioning is commonly used in the otolaryngologist's office setting for cerumen removal and aural toilet. We hypothesize that the intensity of the sound would increase with increasing viscosity of the medium and increasing suction

Speech-dependent Modeling of Own Voice Transfer Characteristics for In-ear Microphones in Hearables [PDF]
, 2023 Many hearables contain an in-ear microphone, which may be used to capture the own voice of its user in noisy environments. Since the in-ear microphone mostly records body-conducted speech due to ear canal occlusion, it suffers from band-limitation effects while only capturing a limited amount of external noise.

Cochlear-bone wave can yield a hearing sensation as well as otoacoustic emission [PDF]
, 2014 A hearing sensation arises when the elastic basilar membrane inside the cochlea vibrates. The basilar membrane is typically set into motion through airborne sound that displaces the middle ear and induces a pressure difference across the membrane. A second, alternative pathway exists, however: stimulation of the cochlear bone vibrates the basilar ...

Using a one-dimensional finite-element approximation of Webster's horn equation to estimate individual ear canal acoustic transfer from input impedances [PDF]
, 2023 In many applications, knowledge of the sound pressure transfer to the eardrum is important. The transfer is highly influenced by the shape of the ear canal and its acoustic properties, such as the acoustic impedance at the eardrum. Invasive procedures to measure the sound pressure at the eardrum are usually elaborate or costly. In this work, we propose

Retained Cotton Bud-induced Severe Otitis Externa That Mimics Malignant Otitis Externa [PDF]
International Journal of Gerontology, 2015 The potential complications of cotton bud use are not well known in the elderly population. Here, we presented a case of cotton bud misuse. An elderly man who had long-standing diabetes mellitus, chronic otorrhea, and right-sided otalgia was poorly ...
