It is incumbent on otologic surgeons and researchers of middle ear mechanics to consider the mass loading effect on middle ear function in clinical and physiological applications. The residual hearing and frequency response can change after surgery or implantation of middle ear prostheses.

The middle ear, separated from the external ear by the eardrum, is an air-filled ... The semicircular canals and vestibule function to sense movement (acceleration and deceleration) and static position. The three semicircular canals lie perpendicular to each other, one to sense movement in each of the 3 spatial planes.
