 Eardrum Structure and Function: Funnell and Laszlo
Their observations on the guinea-pig eardrum indicate that the basic low-frequency pattern may not be much changed until the frequency is as high as 6 to 8 kHz.
Although these variations affect the response of the eardrum to gross mechanical disruptions, from the point of view of acoustical vibrations the drum may presumably be considered to be rigidly attached to the tympanic ring around its entire circumference.
So far no observations of eardrum vibration patterns have been made in ears with the malleus fused to the tympanic bone (except for the observations in rat by {Helms, 1977}, about which no details were given).
