Physiology of ear
• Auditory perception
• Equilibratory sensation
Sound afferent passway
• Air conduction : sound wave → pinna of ear→ external acoustic meatus
→ auditory ossicles → vestibular window → perilymph,
endolymph → Spiral organ of Corti → acoustic nerve →
different levels of nucleus → acoustic center
Sound afferent passway
• Bone conduction
translatory mode of bone conduction
compressonal mode of bone conduction
Physiology of external ear
• Sound collection
• Distinguish direction
• Sympathetic vibration
• Protection
• Sound pressure amplification
Physiology of middle ear
• Sound transformation and gain of middle ear
• Sound transmission and transformation structure:
tympanic membrane and ossicular chain
Physiology of middle ear
Effective vibrative aera: 55 mm2 , 2/3 of anatomic area.
Stapedial footplate area: 3.2 mm2 , 1/17 of effective
vibrative area
•Pressure = Force/area
•Area of tympanic membrane ~17 > area stapes
•Gain of area ratio ~24 dB
Function Middle ear: amplification from area ratio
•Energy loss at air-fluid interface-99.9% loss (-30 dB)
•Malleus longer than incus-amplify pressure ~1.7X (+2 dB)
Function of Middle ear—pressure amplification-ossicles
Physiology of tympanic muscle
• Stapedius muscle
• Tensor tympani muscle
Physiology of eustachian tube
• Maintains pressure balance between middle ear and outside
• Drainage • Prevent retrograde infection• Prevent strong sound
Auditory physiology
• Sound transduction• Sound perception

Motion of basilar membrane towards scala vestibuli deflects stereocilia in excitatory direction
Tectorial membrane deflects OHC stereocilia
Viscous fluid drag of fluid deflects IHC stereocilia
•Model: OHC contraction cause organ of Corti to distort as shown here •Cell motility feeds back enhancing basilar membrane motion thereby increasing traveling wave amplitude and making the “cochlea active”

Physiology of quilibrium
•Equilibrium is the state of balance of the body.
•An erect standing human has a highly unstable equilibrium.
•Through a variety of sensory inputs (vestibule,visual and so forth)
and postural reflexes (proprioception), the body is maintained in its
erect posture.
•Vestibule: Recognize linear acceleration by otolithic macula (utricle
+ saccule)
•Semicircular canal: receptor of positive and negateive angular
acceleration
