This study is a continuation of our previous work in which the vibration response of the gerbil eardrum was measured in vivo under quasi-static pressure steps. In this study, we delivered a continuous pressure sweep to the middle ear and measured the vibration response at four locations for six gerbils. Vibrations were recorded using a single-point laser Doppler vibrometer and glass-coated reflective beads (diameter ~ 40 µm) at the umbo and on the mid-manubrium, posterior pars tensa and anterior pars tensa.The vibration magnitudes were similar to those in the previous step-wise pressurization experiments. Most gerbils showed repeatability within less than 10 dB for consecutive cycles. As described in the previous study, as the frequency was increased at ambient pressure, the vibra...
