Ear – Structure and Function
By: Dr. Vijay Kumar
Four major divisions of auditory system - Anatomy
1. The outer ear
- pinna
- ear canal
- eardrum
2. The middle ear
- three ossicle bones;
(malleus, incus, stapes)
- two major muscles
(stapedial muscle, tensor
tympani)
- Eustachian tube
3. The inner ear
- cochlea (hearing)
- vestibular system (balance)
4. The central auditory system
THE EAR: The outer ear
• PINNA: Important for sound
gathering and localization of
sound
• EAR CANAL or AUDITORY
MEATUS: important for
sound selection
• EARDRUM or TYMPANIC
MEMBRANE:
vibrates in response to
sound/pressure change
Major function of outer ear
1) protection
2) Amplification
3) sound localization
I. Outer ear:
(1) Pinna (Binaural cue to sound source location)
t Left
t Right
* Different distances from source to each ear
=> different arrival times (Interaural time-difference)
and different sound level (interaural level-difference)

II. Middle ear
• Three main parts of middle ear
(1) Three Ossicle bones:
- Malleus(1), Incus(3), Stapes(6)
Function) Impedance matching
(2) Two muscles
- Stapedial muscle(5)
- Tensor tympani(9)
Function) Protection
(3) Eustachian tube(8)
Function) Equalizer of air pressure
III. Inner ear (CD, Figure 3.4.11)
• • Twp parts of inner ear
1) Cochlea (Hearing)
- Scala vestibuli
- Scala media
- Scala tympani
2) Vestibular system (balance)
• Major function of inner ear
1) Hearing
(It transmits sound to
neural impulse and gives
resonant frequency)
2) Balance
THE EAR: Diagram
1. Pinna = outer portion of ear used to collect sound waves
2. Auditory Canal = tube that sound travels down
3. Ear Drum = membrane that sends sound waves to hammer
4. Hammer = first of 3 bones. It vibrates, striking the anvil to carry on
the sound
5. Anvil = gets hit by the hammer, striking the Stirrup
6. Stirrup = vibrates against OVAL WINDOW, carrying on sound
7. Cochlea = a spiral full of sensory “hairs,” which when bent, send
an electrical signal to the AUDITORY NERVE
8. Auditory Nerve = carries all signals for sound to brain
9. SemiCircular Canals = full of gel-like material. Indicates if you are
right side up or upside down. (Balance)
Outer ear:
Acoustic energy, in the form of sound waves, passes pinna, ear canal. Sound waves hit the ear drum, causing it
to vibrate like a drum.
Middle ear:
It sets three ossicle bones (malleus, incus, stapes) into motion, changing acoustic energy to mechanical energy.
These middle ear bones mechanically amplify sound and compensate mismatched impedance.
Inner ear and Central auditory nervous system:
When the stapes moves in and out of the oval window of the cochlea, it creates a fluid motion, hydrodynamic
energy. It causes membranes in the Organ of Corti to shear against the hair cells.
This creates an electrochemical signal which is sent via the auditory nerve to the brain.
Overall, how sound travels through the ear...
