Why must the pressure remain the same on both sides of the ear drum?
If pressure is higher in the inside of the eardrum, the eardrum will pop. If pressure is higher outside the eardrum cave in.
Does the cochlea keep both sides of the eardrum equal?
No. The cochlea transmit sound from the eardrum. The Eustachian tubes keep the pressure inside the ear equalized with the external pressure.
What keeps pressure equal on both sides of the eardrums?
eustachian tube
What is located between the middle ear and the throat and serves to equalize pressure on both sides of the eardrum?
The Eustachian tube
What is a human tube?
This is the tube that connects the ear with the throat. Its function is to equalize air pressure on both sides of the eardrum to keep the eardrum from rupturing and to reduce pain that may be felt when air pressure is reduced. When a person yawns or swallows, the eustachian tube opens, and some of the air in the middle ear may pass into the throat, adjusting the pressure in the middle ear to match the pressure in the outer ear.
Why can you hear better after yawning?
Yawning, particularly if you have some congestion due to cold or allergies, helps even out the pressure on both sides of the eardrum. This allows it to operate properly to transmit the sound waves correctly.
Is chewing gum good for your ears?
No. If you can't get your ears to pop, eg during altitude changes when you are flying, then chewing gum can help your ears to pop and relieve pressure. Otherwise, chewing gum is in no way good or bad for your ears.
Why doesnt the pressure of atmosphere break windows?
Pressure in the atmosphere doesn't break windows because there is the same pressure on both sides of the glass. Windows can break if there is a big difference on one side compared with the other.
Why doesn't the atmospheric pressure break windows?
This is because the pressure will be the same on both sides. It will not break since the pressure is even throughout.
What is Both entire sides of a true equation are divided by the same non-zero value then the resulting equation is also true?
Yes because this keeps both sides of the equation in balance.
What is a result of osmisis?
Isotnic Even pressure on both sides of the membrane Equilibrium
What maintains equal pressure on both sides of the ear drum?
Eustachian tubes
