Abstract

The functional influence of non-otosclerotic fixating lesions of the middle ear is investigated by reviewing two unusual cases and, experimentally, by creating such lesions in human temporal bones and observing the subsequent alteration in sound transmission. The effect of experimental fixation at each of five specific sites on the ossicular chain is discussed with respect to clinical observations.
