Frogs don't have external ears like we do. Instead, they have an eardrum of sorts, called a tympanum, which sits just behind each eye. When sound hit the tympanum (essentially a thin membrane surrounded by a cartilage ring) it vibrates. This in turn vibrates a rod connected to the inner tympanum. The vibrating rod stirs fluid in the inner ear, and the resulting waves wash over tiny hair cells. These hair cells are connected to nerve fibers that transfer the electrical pulses to a part of the brain that interprets sound.
Amazingly, frogs also hear with their lungs. When sound waves hit the lungs, they're funneled directly to the tympanum (the frog's eardrum) through an air link. The difference in pressure between sound waves coming in from the external environment and those being funneled through the lungs is allows the frog to locate sound. This helps female frogs, for example, locate mates during the breeding season.
The air link between the lungs and the tympanum may also protect the frog's ears from its own calls, which can be nearly as loud as a jackhammer in some species (90 to 95 decibels). Specifically, the air link helps to equalize the pressure on the inside and outside fo the ear drum so that it doesn't rupture.

What does the Eustachian tube in a frog connect?
They are used to equalize pressure in the inner ear while the frog is swimming.A slender tube that connects the tympanic cavity with the nasal part of the pharynx and serves to equalize air pressure on either side of the eardrum.The Eustachian tube helps the frog to bring in sound and to hear.The eustachian tube of a frog equalizes the pressure of the inner ear by opening and closing, which aids with sound and hearing.They help to balance the frog.The Eustachian tubes also lead to the eardrums.Or.... instead so its simpler to remember the most important function of the frogs Eustachian tube is that...It was mainly used for equalizing pressure in the inner ear while the frog is swimming.It equalizes the pressure of the frog's inner ear while it's swimming.Used to equalize pressure in the inner ear while the frog is swimming.it gives bloodEqualize pressure between inside and outside ear.\ We as individuals can equalize many things but i tell u this daythe frog has no tube or ear

Where do the frog's eustachian tubes lead?
Pharynx and inner ear
What does the tympanum do in a frog?
yes, the frogs ear can also be call the tympanum
Where do the Eustachian tubes lead in a frog and what is their function?
Close to the angles of the jaw are two openings, one on each side. These are the Eustachian tubes. They are used to equalize pressure in the inner ear while the frog is swimming. The Eustachian tube in a frog leads from the pharynx to the middle ear.
