Back
  • Sound waves funneled by pinna and external auditory canal onto tympanic membrane 
  • Pinna: Filters high-frequency sounds based on elevation of sound source and contributes to sound localization
  • External auditory canal: Amplifies sound pressure 30-100x
  • Tympanic membrane: Vibrates in response to sound waves; Vibration frequency is dependent on sound pitch, and vibration amplitude is dependent on loudness
