| Description: |
This book explores the middle ear system, describing the function of the middle-ear bones, the structure of the tympanic membrane and the motility of the outer hair cells in the cochlea, which endow mammals with a unique capacity for hearing high-frequencies. |
| Synopsis: |
The middle ear plays a vital role in the sense and sensitivity of hearing. Of the various characteristics that distinguish mammals from other vertebrates, several pertain specifically to the middle-ear system, such as the presence of three middle-ear bones and the four-layer composite structure of the tympanic membrane. The Middle Ear attempts to elucidate the role this system plays in sound transmission, as viewed from both scientific and clinical perspectives. |
