Investigation of the relationship between structural damage and hearing impairment based on the whole ear model

Key Points

• The aim is to explore how localized structural damage affects hearing by using a whole ear model.
• Utilized a whole ear model to assess the impact of structural damage.
• Examined the interaction among the outer, middle, and inner ears.
• Analyzed hearing outcomes in relation to various structural impairments.
• Localized structural damage negatively affects hearing performance.
• The whole ear model provides insights into the severity of hearing impairment based on specific ear regions.
