Desing and modeling of a micro sensor used in the frame of middle ear surgery

Acoustic transmission anomalies of the middle ear ossicular chain can result in hearing losses. Nowadays some surgical interventions allow significant hearing improvements by reconstructing the ossicular chain. A tool able to evaluate vibration transmission along the ossicular chain would be of great help to the surgeon. The work presented in this manuscript deals with the conception design of a MEMS sensor adapted suitable ftoor ossicle’s vibration amplitude measurement. Modelling of the sensor structure mechanical behaviour has been particularly developed. The presented structure which is similar to onethat widely used in tactile sensors conception design that wewas modelled ins the harmonic vibrating regime here.
