Hearing SystemsHow We Hear

The ear is not merely

one part of our body

but rather a hearing

system consisting of

several important

fine structures and

components.

The part of the ear

which we can easily

see is the outer ear.

Sounds travel

through the ear canal

to the ear drum.

This is the beginning

of the middle ear.

The inner ear contains the

cochlea which is a

combination of fluid filled

canals, membranes and hair

cells.

The vibrations move

throughout the fluid

of the cochlea like

waves in the

ocean, bending

membranes and

hair cells.

These structures

are designed to

work together and

any damage or

deficiency in any

part of it affects the

overall hearing

response.

The cochlea is so

sensitive, it is not

designed to handle

excessive sound

levels for long

periods of time.

Protect your ears

and the hearing

systems will provide

you with a wonderful

auditory experience

for years to come.
