Paper Abstract
The eardrum or Tympanic Membrane (TM) transfers acoustic energy from the ear canal (at the external ear) into
mechanical motions of the ossicles (at the middle ear). The acousto-mechanical-transformer behavior of the TM is
determined by its shape and mechanical properties. For a better understanding of hearing mysteries, full-field-of-view
techniques are required to quantify shape, nanometer-scale sound-induced displacement, and mechanical properties of
the TM in 3D. In this paper, full-field-of-view, three-dimensional shape and sound-induced displacement of the surface
of the TM are obtained by the methods of multiple wavelengths and multiple sensitivity vectors with lensless digital
holography. Using our developed digital holographic systems, unique 3D information such as, shape (with micrometer
resolution), 3D acoustically-induced displacement (with nanometer resolution), full strain tensor (with nano-strain
resolution), 3D phase of motion, and 3D directional cosines of the displacement vectors can be obtained in full-field-ofview
with a spatial resolution of about 3 million points on the surface of the TM and a temporal resolution of 15 Hz.
