Deformation of avian middle ear structures under static pressure loads, and potential regulation mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Static pressure changes can alter the configuration and mechanical behavior of the chain of ossicles, which may affect the acoustic transfer function. In mammals, the Eustachian tube plays an important role in restoring ambient middle ear pressure, hence
