Optical measurement of tympanic membrane vibration in human under bone-conducted ultrasonic stimulation

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Tympanic membrane (TM) vibrations under bone-conducted ultrasonic (BCU) stimuli were measured in a human subject using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). We presented an signal processing algorithm to increase the SNRs (signal-to-noise ratios) of measured LDV signals by removing only optical noise components from the signals. Further, to clarify the factors of BCU perception, we analyzed the TM vibrations using the presented method to investigate the contribution of nonlinear distortion in bone conduction, i.e. the possibility of generating the audible subharmonics. As a result, we did not find any audible signals corresponding to the subjective pitch of BCU in the TM vibrations. This suggests that there is no evidence for the osseotympanic route with nonlinear distortion.
