Mechanical effect of reconstructed shapes of autologous ossicles on middle ear acoustic transmission

Conductive hearing loss is caused by a variety of defects, such as chronic otitis media, osteosclerosis, and malformation of the ossicles. In such cases, the defective bones of the middle ear are often surgically reconstructed using artificial ossicles to increase the hearing ability. However, in so...
