The Effects of Meniere Disease on Bone-conducted as well as Air-conducted hearing sensitivity
오윤경, 최종운, 김남근(인천대학교)
In order to investigate the effect of the Meniere disease on a hearing sensitivity caused by endolypatic
hydrops, we developed a three dimensional finite element model of the cochlea. The model has a
tapered box shape, and tonotopical property of the basilar membrane (BM) was well described in the
model. For the validation of the model, the air-conducted (AC) sound in a cochlea was simulated. Results
show that the BM velocity was decreased at low frequency ranges in AC whereas the velocity was not
changed at high frequency ranges, which were consistent with the previously published data.
Furthermore, the effect of the Meniere disease on a bone-conducted hearing pathway was investigated
through the simulation. Results show that there were insignificant effects on a BC hearing from the
Meniere disease regardless of the input frequencies.
