This state-of-the-art laboratory is designed to conduct experiments in
cadaveric temporal bone models for the purpose of enhancing our knowledge
about the acoustic and mechanical properties of the external auditory
canal, tympanic membrane, middle and inner ear.
In addition to being able to study an intact ear with highly specialized
tools such as hydrophone (hydropressure sensor) and laser Doppler
vibrometer system, this lab also gives us the capability to test ossicular
prostheses to determine the best reconstructive options for surgical
procedures.
