A MIDDLE-EAR REVERSE TRANSFER FUNCTION COMPUTED FROM VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS OF OTOACOUSTIC EMISSIONS ON THE EAR DRUM OF THE GUINEA PIG

Using distortion products measured as vibration of the Limbo and as sound pressure in the ear canal of guinea pigs, we calculated the corresponding reverse transfer function. We compare the measurements with a middle-car model taken from the literature and adapted to the guinea pig. A reasonable fit could be achieved. We conclude that the reverse transfer function will be useful to aid fitting a middle-car model to measured transfer functions Of human subjects.
