Abstract
A Finite Element Model (FEM) of middle ear was used to simulate the pathology of otosclerosis (OS) and tympanosclerosis (TS). Several aspects regarding the two diseases were examined, the results of which are hereby presented, connecting OS and TS with significant hearing loss, depending on the position of the OS and TS plaque accordingly.
