“…Backside loading has been stressed as influencing the performance of an FMT in enhancing its vibratory performance and retention of long-term coupling ( 47 ). Using a coupling impedance model of the human ear, Xue et al ( 48 ) determined that poor coupling resulted in deterioration of responses across the entire frequency ranges with RW stimulation ( 48 ).…”

Round Window Stimulation of the Cochlea

Mixed hearing loss associated with a sensorineural component and an impaired conductive mechanism for sound from the external ear canal to the cochlea represents a challenge for rehabilitation using either surgery or traditional hearing amplification. Direct stimulations of the ossicular chain and the round window (RW) membrane have allowed an improved hearing in this population. The authors review the developments in basic and clinical research that have allowed the exploration of new routes for inner ear stimulation. Similar changes occur in the electrophysiological measures in response to auditory stimulation through the traditional route and direct mechanical stimulation of the RW. The latter has proven to be very effective as a means of hearing rehabilitation in a group of patients with significant difficulties with hearing and communication.
