For better understanding of bone-conducted (BC) hearing, a mechanical BC model is formulated using the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method. The BC hearing can be generally described by three main mechanisms: (1) cochlear fluid inertia, (2) in-phase motion of the outer bony shell, and (3) out-of-p...
