Fig. 8. Relative ossicular response at the distal tip on the malleus head in line
with the stimulation direction of the same five right ears for lateral (black)
and vertical (gray) stimulation. Each frequency response was shifted along the
logarithmic frequency scale to bring the resonant frequencies into alignment
at an arbitrary frequency of 150 Hz. Over the frequency band tested, malleus
velocity amplitudes in response to lateral stimulation exceeded those in
response to vertical stimulation.
