How can you burst an eardrum?
Too much pressure can rupture an eardrum. For example, I ruptured my brother's eardrum many years ago with one of those pool noodles. We were fighting with them in the pool and I smacked him in the side of the head with it. The force of impact directly over his ear created enough pressure inside of his ear cavity to actually rupture his eardrum. Another thing that can rupture/burst an eardrum is simply sticking something that doesn't belong inside of your ear too deep, physically puncturing the eardrum. Although eardrums can burst, they can also heal. However, the older you get, the more difficult it becomes for your body to repair an eardrum.
What is the pressure of a sound on an ear drum?
The sound pressure wave is travelling down the ear canal, hits the area of the eardrum, which vibrates ... just like a drum! Sound pressure p = force F divided by area A.
How is the eardrum like a musical drum?
it's like a eardrum because in the middle air, these waves make the eardrum vibrate. The vibration of the eardrum move three tiny bones called the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup.
What tube permits soundwaves to reach the eardrum?
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
Is the ear canal the same as the eardrum?
the ear canal is literally the hole in the side of your head, leading to the eardrum. the eardrum is the membrane ( tympanic membrane) at he end of the ear canal.
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.
What are the tubes that equalize pressure in the eardrum called?
The ear has a tube that equalizes the pressure in the eardrum. These tubes are known as the eustacean tubes.
How is sound transmitted to the eardrum?
Sound is transmitted through the air to the eardrum as variations in pressure above and below ambient atmospheric pressure.
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 on both sides of the eardrum?
eustachian tube
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.
What tubes equalized pressure to the eardrum?
Those are called the Eustachian tubes.
Tubes that equalize pressure to the eardrum in a frog?
The Eustachian tubes
How sound gets to the eardrum?
Sounds entering the ear canal through the air as sound pressure variations come to the eardrum and are send to the cochlea of the inner ear.

What job does the eardrum?
The eardrum sends sounds entering the ear canal through the air as sound pressure variations to the cochlea of the inner ear. By Lilly Rogers xxx
Why might your eardrum hurt when you travel in an airplane?
Because of the pressure build up in your ears.
