| dc.description | The mechanism for conducting acoustic energy via middle ear oscicles is still a controversial topic and will remain so until consensus is reached regarding whether it amplifies or reduces sound transmission. 22 paired human temporal bone blocks and 1 left block were studied. Digital measurements were taken of the tympanic membrane, oscicular articulations and the oval window; the results were then correlated. A relationship of non-lineal areas was found amongst the structures being studied, suggesting a sound transmission relationship combining both sound reduction and amplification. A complex relationship of levers could be observed originating in an oscicular and articular asymmetric relationship suggesting an amplifying function in initial sound transmission and also a final reducer destination for such conduction. | |
