Abstract

Recent data obtained from fresh human temporal bones [Gyo et al., Ann. Otol. Rhinol. Laryngol. (1987)] have provided previously unavailable information regarding the likely effect on the middle ear transmission resulting from surgical modification. The possibility of improving a low‐grade ear (from the middle ear transmission standpoint) into a “golden ear” will be discussed. Calculations based on modifications to the analog external‐plus‐middle‐ear model of Killion and Clemis [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Suppl. 1 69, S44 (1981)] will be presented.
