Abstract A three-dimensional numerical model of the membranous labyrinth of the semicircular canal of the inner ear was established to investigate the effects of canalithiasis of BPPV on the balance function of the inner ear. The movement of otolith particles in the membranous labyrinth was simulated when a person turns his head to a specific position. The effects of otolith movements on the balance function of the inner ear were simulated for different numbers, diameters, and initial positions of otoliths. The simulation results show that the otolith diameter affects the movement duration of otoliths in the membranous labyrinth. The number and… More >
