Lumped parameter models have served to study the dynamics of the human middle ear since the mid-twentieth century. Generally, these models can be fitted using experimental data, which can be gathered using a single or multiple-objective function. However, adjusting for physical parameters using a single objective function may interfere with model representativeness. As such, such models become less capable of corresponding to typical physiology of the middle ear under normal and pathological conditions. This article presents a mechanical lumped parameter model of the human middle ear and a study on its adjustment, preliminarily found using the single optimization of each proposed dynamic quantity, followed by a multiple-objective optimization of these quantities. The results obtained are then compared with experimental reference data in order to evaluate the model’s best representativeness using a multi-objective adjustment.
