Résumé
To compare the vibrational patterns of human and guinea pig cochleae accurately, we developed and validated a novel finite element model of the guinea pig, leveraging it to analyze vibrational patterns in the cochlea. This approach is mirrored in our examination of the human cochlear model, providing granular insights into the nuances of human bone conduction hearing. The comparative analysis reveals that the guinea pig cochlea mirrors human cochlear vibrational patterns, thus serving as an efficient proxy for exploring human cochlear function. The human mastoid and the upper region of the guinea pig's skull are recommended as the convenient and comparable sites for bone conduction stimulation. The cochlear vibration pattern encompasses a mix of rigid, rotational, and compressive motion. Significantly, the guinea pig model demonstrates robust agreement with existing experimental data and other studies, these findings are confirming the validity of the model. Our study delineates the distinct roles of the three vibration types across various frequency spectrums. At lower frequencies, rigid motion is the dominant mechanism, supplemented by rotational motion. However, at higher frequencies, the influence of rigid motion wanes, ceding prominence to rotational and compressive motions. This trend is consistently observed in both human and guinea pig models.
