Abstract: The outer ear is a part of the human auditory periphery which consists of the pinna and the ear canal. Its main function is to amplify the incoming sound signal. The ear canal act like acoustic resonator that selectively amplify and transmit certain frequencies to the middle ear via the eardrum [1]. Various techniques are used to model the ear canal, including physical models, finite element models, and electroacoustic models [2]-[5]. For human ear modeling, it is recommended to take into account the attenuation of sound in the human ear [6]. In the present study, the effect of the ...
