The paper presents experimental investigations of ossicular chain vibrations using a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) for the intact middle ear and a reconstructed one by means of the new designed shape memory prosthesis. Vibrations of the round window are measured with the Laser Doppler vibrometer and studied classically by the transfer function analysis. Moreover, the recurrence plot technique and the Hilbert vibration decomposition method are used to extend the classical analysis. The new methods show additional vibrations components and provide more information about middle ear behaviour.
