036 An Overview of the Mechanism of Hearing

[@InteractiveBiology]

@mimachka That's to balance the pressure. Think about it this way - When the bony ossicles vibrate, that causes the oval window to vibrate in and out. That's going to cause an increase in pressure when the oval window pushes in. Fluid doesn't compress, so that pressure needs to go somewhere. By having the round window on the other side, when the oval window pushes in, that pushes the round window out so that you don't get damage to the cochlea.

You are very much welcome. All the best on your final!

[@InteractiveBiology]

@mimachka You are very much welcome. Glad I could help :)

[@trevabugg5369]

great video! I added it to my speech language pathology practice review folder. thank you so much!

[@nadineamadea]

this is a very good video. it really helps me for my biology mid term test at school next week :) thank you very much!

[@readyforheaven57]

Thank you this so much is helping to understand deafness and persons that are hard-of-hearing. And just plain hearing loss

[@deepaseshadrishivani]

I am a psychology student and this video helps me understand the process behind hearing well. Good job........ :-)

[@BearsDenRecords]

thanks for doing this job. it provides me a greater guide than the books available near me. i am a student of buxi jagabandhu english medium school bbsr odisha india. it is better to learn videos than books

[@InteractiveBiology]

Glad to be able to help Milan Biswal :)

@gunjan0808 It's the stuff inside the cochlea that vibrates that leads to hearing.

[@zahraamahmoud5661]

Thank you very much sir Please can you explain the lever system of ear 🙏🙏🙏

[@mimachka]

What is the function of the round window? I watched several videos about the structure of the ear, but none of them says anything about the round window, and here it was just mentioned.

[@mimachka]

@InteractiveBiology oh thank you very much for the prompt answer. that made it really clear! :))))

[@Djalitana]

are the ossicles bones or cartilages? I don't know why the nature needed bones there, that is hard to vibrate. wouldn't be better cartilage or lighter membranes? thank you so much.

[@sharadhapalaniappan9875]

such an awsome video....tanx alotttt......

[@vitorptm]

Sound is propagated by longitudinal waves in air and liquids. You drew transversal ones. Still, good explanation =)

[@gunjan0808]

@malbert34 thanks :) does piercing pinna cause hearing problem?

[@bee2682]

Thanks!

[@DeborahChabala-hy1ki]

Very helpful ☺️

[@hareethmb]

in this video you did not mensin much about auditory nerve.can you explain?

[@gunjan0808]

doesn't cochlea vibrate along with the ear ossicles?

[@dushyantyadav6554]

very nice video

[@BalukjasChannel]

I am not sure if eardrum is called tympanic membrane !

[@InteractiveBiology]

Yes it is. Do a google search.

[@BalukjasChannel]

I confused it with tectorial membrane, Anyway thank you :)

[@1Geeked]
