The eardrum vibrates when sound
waves enter the ear canal and pass vibrations to
the oval window, which is a membrane at the
entrance to the inner ear.
Hearing
is achieved through a combination of the sensory organ in the inner ear, visual input, and information received from receptors in the body, especially around joints.
Balance
is a test for lateralization. Tap the tuning fork strongly on your palm and then press the butt of the instrument on the top of the patient’s head in the midline and ask the patient where they hear the sound
