1. A method for developing a computational model of an ear comprising the steps of: constructing a three-dimensional geometric model of the ear; meshing individual anatomical structures of the ear accounting for whether the anatomical structures include at least one of air, liquid material and solid material; assigning material properties for each anatomical structure based on at least one physical property of each anatomical structure; assigning boundary conditions for some of the anatomical structures indicative of interaction between such anatomical structures; and employing acoustic-structural coupled analysis to the anatomical structures of the ear to generate data indicative of the acoustic effect on mechanical vibration transmission in the ear.
