“…In contrast with live patients who can provide subjective feedback to evaluate the hearing sensation, tests in cadaveric specimens require objective measures. Currently, three measures are commonly employed: intracochlear pressure ( Greene et al, 2015 ; Borgers et al, 2019 ; Mattingly et al, 2020 ; Fierens et al, 2022 ; Putzeys et al, 2022 ), promontory velocity ( Stenfelt and Goode, 2005 ; Rosowski et al, 2007 ; Dobrev et al, 2016 , 2020 , 2023 ; Roosli et al, 2016 ; Rigato et al, 2019 ; Ghoncheh et al, 2021 ; Prodanovic and Stenfelt, 2021 ), and ear canal pressure ( Mertens et al, 2014 ; Nie et al, 2022 ).…”
