Evaluation of Round Window Stimulation Performance in Otosclerosis Using Finite Element Modeling

Round window (RW) stimulation is a new type of middle ear implant’s application for treating patients with middle ear disease, such as otosclerosis. However, clinical outcomes show a substantial degree of variability. One source of variability is the variation in the material properties of the ear c...
