(3) The term aural acoustic immittance was chosen to describe measures of impedance and admittance in the current American National Standards Institute standard for devices to measure aural acoustic immittance (American National Standards Institute S3.39‐1987‐R2012).

Readers have the possibility to see how the Titan data (**Figure 3A** and **B**) can be manipulated in 3D, in order to observe other aspects of the 3D-WBT graph, collapsing one axis in order to see the absorbance at a particular stimulus frequency. The corresponding videos can be

• *Acoustic absorbance* (A): The amount of acoustic energy absorbed by the ossicular chain, during the stimulus propagation. It is defined as the ratio of (absorbed sound power)/to

• *Acoustic admittance Y*(*ω*): The inverse of Impedance (i.e., the facility of propagation in a

• Acoustic immittance: Measurement of the sound energy flow in a medium. The immittance can be either in terms of acoustic impedance (resistance) or acoustic admittance (easiness). • *Acoustic impedance Z*(*ω*): "Resistance" that a sound stimulus experiences while passing through various media. It is a complex variable and stimulus frequency dependent.

• *Acoustic reflectance*: The acoustic energy, reflected backwards, when an acoustic stimulus propagates forward in a medium (i.e., through the ossiculare chain). It is defined as (1‐A).
