Hearing field Intensity level intensity

Loudness level of some sounds 120 - 130 Jet propulsion 100 - 110 Pneumatic drill 60 - 90 Traffic noise 40 - 60 Normal speech 20 - 30 Forest silence 10 - 20 whispering Loudness level [Ph] Sort of sound

Biophysical function of the ear The ear consists of outer, m i ddle and inner ear. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Lever system of ossicles. Maleus and incus form an unequal lever (force increases 1,3x). So-called piston transmission. Protection against strong sounds: Elastic connection of ossicles and reflex es of muscles ( m m . stapedius, tensor tympani ) can attenuate strong sounds by 15 dB.
