Blocked eustachian tube?
The Eustachian tube is located within the human ear. If the Eustachian tube is blocked, air is prevented from passing through to the middle ear.
How are sound vibrations transmitted through the middle ear?
Sound vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear by passing from the eardrum to the three small bones called ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes). These bones amplify the vibrations and transmit them to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.
Is it safe to swim in pathogen-contaminated water as long as you do not swallow any of the water?
No. Bacteria can enter through the nose, ear, and cuts on the skin. There is an amoeba that enters through the ear and will kill a person by going to the brain.
What is the term for arrangements learned by ear and then memorized?
The term for arrangements learned by ear and then memorized is "aural tradition." This approach involves passing down music or other cultural elements through oral transmission rather than through written notation.
What is the orgin of the idiom in one ear and out the other?
Basically, it means that you're hearing what the other person is saying, but you're not actually listening and taking in what they're saying to you. This is the real answer: Not listening to what is being said. Not attentive.
When sound is created it travels to the ear through a what?
Sound travels to the ear through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, causing the particles in the medium to vibrate. These vibrations are then detected by the ear and converted into electrical signals that are interpreted by the brain as sound.
Can a human being drink anything from its ear?
No JJ-Hypothetically, Yes. Anything absorbed through your skin, mouth, scalp and yes even hair is like drinking. Reason is because if skin etc absorbs it, your veins do to and it enters your blood stream but your body does not absorb enough to satisfy unlike your mouth.
What is the order in which sound travels through the ear?
Sound travels through the ear in the following order: outer ear, ear canal, eardrum, middle ear bones (ossicles), cochlea in the inner ear.
What is the part of the earring that you put through your ear?
The part of the earring that goes through your ear is called "the post".
What does it mean when you feel like you have something in your ear?
There could be water in your ear from taking a shower, or there is something ese in your ear but you can get your ear flooded if you think its water.
How do ear defenders reflect sound waves?
Ear defenders are designed to absorb, dampen, or block incoming sound waves before they reach the ear. This is typically achieved through materials with specific acoustic properties that prevent sound waves from passing through effectively. The design of ear defenders aims to create a barrier that reduces the intensity of sound waves, protecting the ears from potential hearing damage.
How do you remove water in the ear?
Water can not get in your inner ear (the parts all the way inside with the bones) unless it is fluid from inside your body, and therefore, water can not get out of your inner ear to the outside of your body. If it were to happen and somehow water got in your inner ear, you would need to get emergency help from a physician. It is similarly not typical to have water able to get in the middle ear (the part just behind your ear drum), unless you have a hole in your eardrum, missing eardrum, or an anatomical variation. You can get infections in the middle ear that can cause a build up of fluids and feel like water in your ear, but you can not get that out of your middle ear without physician prescribed treatment such as antibiotics. Where you can get water in your ears is in the external ear, which includes all the parts of your ear that you can see and into the ear canal as far as the eardrum. This can be called "swimmer's ear". For information on how to get water out of your external ear, see the related question below.
