Morphology and function of Neandertal and modern human ear ossicles. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 The diminutive middle ear ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) housed in the tympanic cavity of the temporal bone play an important role in audition. The few known ossicles of Neandertals are distinctly different from those of anatomically modern humans ...

Morphological Variations of Middle Ear Ossicles and its Clinical Implications [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017 Introduction: The middle ear ossicles form a semi rigid chain in the middle of the ear for conduction and amplification of sound waves from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear.

Inner ear ossification and mineralization kinetics in human embryonic development - microtomographic and histomorphological study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Little is known about middle and inner ear development during the second and third parts of human fetal life. Using ultra-high resolution Microcomputed Tomography coupled with bone histology, we performed the first quantitative middle and inner ear ...

Early increased cell proliferation compensates subsequent hypoplasia of the ossicle [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyOssicles are essential structures for normal sound conduction from the external environment to the inner ear. Proper formation of the ossicles is required for normal hearing, and ossicular deformities lead to hearing loss.

Morphometry of human ear ossicles
Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2023 Background and Aim: Congenital anomalies and malformations of ear ossicles will cause hearing problems. Most commonly they will be either the absence of long process of incus or capitulum of stapes.

Growth pattern of the middle ear in the gray short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica [PDF]
Vertebrate Zoology, 2022 We studied the mass growth trajectories of middle ear ossicles and tympanic membrane and oval window area in 19 specimens of postnatal ages 30–180 days of the gray short-tailed opossum Monodelphis domestica.

Mechanical effect of reconstructed shapes of autologous ossicles on middle ear acoustic transmission
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Conductive hearing loss is caused by a variety of defects, such as chronic otitis media, osteosclerosis, and malformation of the ossicles. In such cases, the defective bones of the middle ear are often surgically reconstructed using artificial ossicles ...
