The Mongolian gerbil has become increasingly popular in middle-ear research, as it is low in cost and has easily approachable middle-ear structures. The goal of this thesis is to present vibration measurements on the gerbil eardrum. Displacement frequency responses are acquired in five gerbils at three or four points along the manubrium and at up to 8 points on the eardrum. We use a Polytec laser Doppler vibrometer to perform measurements with a sinusoidal-sweep stimulus. Displacements, normalized with respect to the sound pressure level measured near the eardrum, are presented over the frequency range from 0.15 to 10 kHz, and compared with measurements published in the literature. Spatial displacement patterns along the manubrium and on th...
