A partial ossicular reconstruction prosthesis was covered with differing materials and cartilage sizes. Materials used included glass (rigid), cartilage (intermediate), and Merocel\u00ae (soft). Cartilage sizes varied in size relative to the prosthesis head.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Rigidity of material had little impact. Cartilage size had an impact, with smaller cartilage covers performing best.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>Larger cartilage sizes performed worse. This could be a result of increased tension on the eardrum from larger cartilage size. There is little impact stiffness of interposed material stiffness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>SIGNIFICANCE<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cartilage of the size used clinically has little impact on vibration transmission to the footplate.
