Abstract
A theoretical analysis and a computational simulation of the vibrations of the tympanic membrane is presented. A new model based in the vibrations of a membrane of two regions with different densities is proposed to model the eardrum. Values of vibration frequencies as also the vibration modes are obtained. It is demonstrated, according to our model, that the (0,1) and (0,2) modes are the most important for the vibration of the tympanum.
