Abstract

This paper describes the design of the ossicular replacement prosthesis for the people who have problem of hearing because of middle ear disease. Also the simulation results of the designed product for verification by finite element analysis software (ABAQUS) are presented. New model is applied to middle ear FE analysis which was generated in previous study. The full replacements of ossicular prosthesis for ossicles (malleus, incus and stapes) are made of Hydroxyapatite and Titanium. Although other existing prosthesis models consider only sound amplification effect, current type has damper system which is operating on the audible frequencies. High frequency sound transmitted to inner ear can be reduced and the prosthesis and inner ear can be prevented from damage.
