2. 1. Transmission of bone conducted sound in the human skull based on vibration and perceptual measures

   Author : Måns Eeg-Olofsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bone conducted sound; Cochlear vibration; Hearing perception; Bone conduction implant;

   Abstract : For patients who are rehabilitated with bone conduction (BC) hearing aids, the position on the skull of the hearing aid is critical for the perception of the sound. The aim of this work was to describe the vibration of the cochlea from BC sound stimulation at different positions on the skull. READ MORE

4. 2. Cochlear mechanics : design and application of superresolution techniques in the cochlear apex

   Author : Stefan Jacob; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hearing is one of the five traditional senses. Next to vision it is probably the most important for man and plays a crucial role in day-to-day communication. However, hearing is extremely challenged by modern life style, due to increasing noise exposure and aging societies. Ten percent of the world population is estimated to be hearing impaired.

5. 3. Development of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials and audiometry for the clinical diagnosis of superior canal dehiscence syndrome

   Author : Luca Verrecchia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Often in Audiology and Neurotology the focus is on disorders characterized by loss of hearing and vestibular function. A complementary approach is to look at the manifestations of abnormally augmented auditory or vestibular functions, commonly named auditory and vestibular hypersensitivity. READ MORE

6. 4. A Finite Element Model of the Human Head for Simulation of Bone-conducted Sound

   Author : You Chang; Stefan Stenfelt; Namkeun Kim; Frank Böhnke; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bone conduction; finite element model，bone-conduction devices;

   Abstract : Bone conduction is usually understood as the hearing sensation based on the vibrations of the skull bone and surrounding tissues. The fact that vibration of the skull bones can result in a sound percept has been known for a long time. However, it is difficult to give a general definition of BC sound. READ MORE

7. 5. Atomic force microscopic studies of inner ear structure and mechanics

   Author : Alexandra Zelenskaya; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Atomic force microscopy; indentation curves; mechanical properties; outer hair cells; shell-core model; electromotility; prestin; otoconia; tympanic membrane.;

   Abstract : The transduction processes occurring in the inner ear, from sound induced vibration or head movements to nerve impulses sent to the brain, are to a large part dependent on the mechanical properties of the different components of this organ, especially the sensory hair cells. The function of the hearing organ is for example dependent on the unique mechanoelectric transduction properties of the cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs), which are able to respond to electrophysiological and mechanical stimulations by changing their shape and their mechanical properties.
