Localized vibrations incorporated thickness assessment of cadaveric tympanic membranes using Doppler-optical coherence tomography

Vibrations of the tympanic membrane (TM) play a key role in the diagnosis of the middle ear in hearing research. The thickness is one of the factors that determines performance analysis of the TM and plays an important role in forming vibration patterns. When the thickness of TM is changed for various reasons, the vibration pattern is also changed, which interferes with sound transmission. The previously reported studies of measuring TM obtained the response of the entire or at a single point to understand the characteristics of the TM, which is limited to providing detailed information for the region of ...
