Do ossicles equalize pressure?
No, auditory ossicles amplify and transmit sound vibrations. The auditory tube is the place where the air pressure in the middle ear can be equalized by bringing air in from or out to the pharynx or throat.
Does auditory tube transmits sound waves?
No. It does not transmit the sound waves.
What is the tube that sound waves travel along to get to the ear drum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
What tube permits soundwaves to reach the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
How vibrations produced in your ear by a sound wave enable you to hear the sound?
The idea is that our ears have organs which are specifically designed to detect those vibrations. Note that only vibrations between about 20 and 20,000 hertz (i.e., cycles per second) can be detected by human ears.

Channel between the middle ear and the nasopharynx?
The answer is the auditory (Eustacean) tube.
Which structures of the ear are important in maintaining equal pressure within the middle ear?
Middle ear: amplify & transmit sound vibrations from tympanic membrane to oval window. Inner ear: to covert the sound vibrations into electrical energy and maintain equilibrium.
What makes the air pressure in the middle and outer ear equal?
pharyngotympanic or auditory tube (formerly known as the eustachian tube)
What is the s shaped tube leading to the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
What tube permits soundwaves to reach the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
How does the cochlea in the ear work?
The cochlea of the inner ear contains a membranous tube called the cochlear duct. This duct is filled with fluid that vibrates when the sound waves from the stirrup (stapes) bone strike against it. In the cochlear duct are delicate cells which make up the organ of Corti. These hair-like cells pick up the vibrations caused by sound waves against the fluid, then they transmit them through the auditory nerve to the hearing center of the brain.
What is the path sound travels through the ear to the auditory nerve?
The auditory system is essentially the entire pathway sound has to take. The peripheral auditory system takes the sound and translates it into the electrical processes that the brain can interpret. Then these signals get sent through the central auditory system.

What tube is responsible for the equalization of pressure when you change elevation?
Auditory tubeThe auditory tube which used to be called the Eustacean tube.
