摘要: 目的:研究外耳道与中耳腔的存在对声音传导的影响。方法:通过微CT扫描和逆向成型技术建立中耳有限元模型,通过建立外耳道与中耳腔,计算外耳道与中耳腔对声音空气传导与骨传导的影响。结果:气传导中,外耳道提高了0.5~6kHz频率段的镫骨足板响应,在3kHz频率处出现峰值,高达11dB。中耳腔主要降低了镫骨足底板中低频段的响应,在低频段降低幅值较大,为2~4dB;骨传导中,外耳道略微降低了骨传导下镫骨足底板低频段的响应,但提高了中高频段镫骨足底板位移,在1.5kHz频率处出现峰值,增幅为1.9dB。中耳腔主要增大镫骨足板1.5kHz附近中频段响应,最大增幅为2.5dB。结论:气传导中,外耳道的存在大幅提高了其中频段响应,中耳腔的存在将降低其低中频段响应。而骨传导中,外耳道及中耳腔对骨传导影响较小。Abstract: Objective:To study the influence of the ear canal and middle ear cavity on air conduction and bone conduction.Method:A finite element model of the human middle ear was established.By establishing the external ear canal and the middle ear cavity, we evaluated the effects of the external canal and the middle ear cavity on air conduction and bone conduction.Result:In air conduction, the external canal improved the stapes response at the frequency range of 0.5 kHz to 6 kHz, and the maximum increase was 11 dB at 3 kHz.The middle ear cavity mainly reduced the response of stapes at mid-low frequency, with the drops of 2-4 dB under 2 kHz;in bone conduction, ear canal slightly reduced the low-frequency response, but increased the response of the stapes at the midhigh frequency, with a maximum increase of 1.9 dB at 1.5 kHz.The middle ear cavity mainly increased the stapes response at mid-frequency near 1.5 kHz, with a maximum increase of 2.5 dB.Conclusion:Our results show that, in air conduction, the ear canal significantly increases the middle-frequency response, while the middle ear cavity decreases the low-mid frequency response.Whereas, the ear canal and the middle ear cavity have slightly effect on bone conduction.
