What part of the ear vibrate?

Hi...as far as I am aware it is the ear drum that vibrates........... the sound having been collected by the visible part of the ear then directed through the ear canal to the ear drum thus causing the anvil, the hammer and the stirrup (the 3 bones in the ear) to vibrate......... hope this helps


What is the function of the ear drum in the ear?

The ear drum (aka: Tympanic Membrane) has several functions. It helps protect our middle ear space from debris and foreign objects, it connects to the middle ear bones (ossicles) in order to transmit vibrations that enter the ear canal to the middle ear bones. The ossicles are connected to the fluid-filled inner ear organ (the cochlea). The sound wave vibrations that travel through the tympanic membrane to the ossicles vibrate the inner ear fluid; which helps transmit sound to our brain. The ear drum is sensitive and can break or perforate due to: Penetration due to a foreign object (ex:Que-Tips jammed too far in the ear canal), bugs and other pests can chew through it (this is why it is GOOD not to clean out wax intentionally; our body makes wax to protect the ear drum), or it can rupture due to fluid in the middle ear space building up from infection (this is why "tubes" are sometimes placed in ear drums of people with recurrent ear infections to help even out the pressure from the fluid to protect the ear drum). I have observed people with perforated or absent ear drums, and they can still hear, albeit not as well if they did have one, but as long as the middle ear bones are intact, they will still be able to vibrate to sound waves and thus the person can indeed hear. These patients must be careful because they are more prone to infection without the protection of their ear drum.


Where is the stirrup connected?

As far as I know, the stirrups have always been connected to the bottom of a riding saddle, by means of straps. Of course, you could be referring to one of the ossicles, the tiny bones of the internal ear.


How far can you hear?

You can hear at least at 20,000 Hz other wise your ear drum will get damaged.

What bones are the ossicles?

The auditory ossicles are three "little bones" found in the middle chamber of each ear. They are the smallest bones in the human body, and each one has its own name:tympannic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrupThe malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil), and stapes (or stirrup). The bone in myour ear is called a hammer a or even better word is mallues.incue or even in another word would be anvil and finnaly the last one is stapes which in another word is stirrup. Thank you.

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.


If you swab your ear with a q tip and you think it goes back too far and it really hurts what does this mean?

You could have already had an ear infection, or you may have ruptured your ear drum. Either way, you need to see a doctor ASAP to prevent further complications, such as worsening infection or hearing loss.


How far can you pull out your ear?

Don't pull out your ear. The ear wasn't made for this. It could have unpleasant consequences. If you really want to know how far you can pull out your ear, well, as much as it lets you to pull it out.

Can you use a syringe to drain your dogs ear?

Short answer NO. Anything that hard into the ear can cause a drum rupture if not handled properly; they tend to move & thus make it easy for you to hurt them. Use cotton ball, few drop of dog ear cleaner from pet store, and use your fingers to push it far (cotton won't hurt the dog) into the canal & clean. Regular cleaning helps.
