ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of noise under normal and high pressure environment on the cochlea,so as to make up for the defect caused by the lack of testing means to study the noise effect on behavioral characteristics of cochlear hearing by using numerical simulation method.Methods Based on CT scan images of healthy cochlea,and combined with self-programming,the three-dimensional finite element model of the cochlear spiral was established by using PATRAN software.Analysis on flow solid coupling frequency response and transient response was conducted by using NASTRAN software,and the impact of noise under normal and high pressure environment on the cochlea was numerically simulated.Results The calculated results were in agreement with the experimental results reported in the literature,which verified the correctness of the model.When the frequency was lower than 5 kHz,the basement membrane displacement by noise excitation under normal and high pressure environment was basically the same;when the frequency was higher than 5 kHz,the basement displacement by noise excitation under normal environment decreased gradually.Conclusions Under high pressure environment,the high-frequency noise shows a more obvious effect on the basilar membrane.The numerical simulation results can make up for the deficiency in studies about noise effect on characteristics of human cochlear hearing due to the lack of experimental methods,and provide new ideas and theoretical support for targeted experimental study of the cochlea in the future.
