title: An electrical network model of inertially induced bone-conducted sound.
abstract: A model for the description of inertially induced bone-conducted sound has been developed and a discussion of the appropriate techniques for its representation as an electrical network is described. Predictions are made for the sound pressure produced in the meatus in the cases of normal ears and pathological ears resulting from vibration applied to the skull. Evidence from this modelling suggests that the technique may provide improved discriminability over conventional immitance measurements for some types of pathology.
