In Kojima's study, stapedial abnormality was seen more commonly than other ossicular dislocations. |
At moderate sound pressures, the vibrations are passed on to the stapes, and the whole ossicular chain moves as a single mass. |
The ossicular chain magnifies the incoming sound waves which have now been converted into mechanical energy. |
The odontophore is an unpaired typically T-shaped ossicle between and dorsal to the distal side of each mouth-angle ossicular pair. |
The VSB implant was implanted alone or in association with another middle ear surgical procedure, on the ossicular chain or on the round window membrane. |
Our patient did not experience scutal or ossicular erosion suggestive of a cholesteatoma. |
