Abstract

The round window membrane (RW) functions as a pressure relief valve in conventional hearing allowing structures of the middle ear to move. Investigations in recent years have shown that middle ear implants can be used to stimulate the cochlea via the RW. Isolated clinical uses of this technique have been applied but more thorough theoretical and empirical studies are required. Using guinea pigs as test subjects we have investigated physiological effects of RW stimulation using a simulation of active middle ear prosthesis, a cylindrical neodymium iron boron disk magnet placed upon the RW which can be stimulated by an electromagnetic coil positioned in close proximity to the magnet.
