From: Bone conduction stimulation efficiency at coupling locations closer to the cochlea
Efficiency of the stimulation positions (part 2). (A,C) Change in amplitude when stimulating closer to the cochlea, compared to results from stimulating at the standard Baha position. Coloured lines represent the median across six individual ears, shaded areas represent the interquartile range, and dots show the results of individual specimens. (B,D) Indication of significant differences (p < 0.05) between stimulating at different stimulation locations indicated by a cross (x), evaluated per frequency. From top to bottom: the Friedman test was used to identify differences across multiple stimulation positions. Additionally, a post-hoc Tukey-Kramer test on mean ranks was conducted to determine significant differences in pressures and velocities between stimulation positions. (A,B) Promontory velocity, (C,D) Ear canal pressure.
