The purpose of wax:
Repel water
Trap dust, sand particles, micro-organisms, and other
debris
Moisturize epithelium in ear canal
Odor discourages insects
Antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal properties
Cleanse ear canal
Middle Ear

Chain
Eustachian
Tube
Stapedius
Muscle
Tympanic Membrane
Cone-shaped in appearance
about 17.5 mm in diameter
Eustachian Tube
Lined with mucous
membrane; connects
middle ear to back of
the throat
(nasopharynx)
Equalizes air pressure
Normally closed except
during yawning or
swallowing
Not a part of the
hearing process
Stapedius Muscle
Connects the stapes to the middle ear wall
Contracts in response to loud sounds; known as the
Acoustic Reflex
Middle Ear
Conduction
Conduct sound from the outer ear to the inner ear
Protection
Creates a barrier that protects the middle and inner areas
from foreign objects
Middle ear muscles may provide protection from loud
sounds
Transducer
Converts acoustic energy to mechanical energy
Converts mechanical energy to hydraulic energy
Amplifier
Transformer action of the middle ear
only about 1/1000 of the acoustic energy in air would be
transmitted to the inner-ear fluids (about 30 dB hearing
loss)
Inner Ear
Choclea
Snail shaped. Have 3 canals they are
Scala Vestibuli
Scala Tympani
Scala Media
