Hammer and amplify sounds to the oval window

Question 35

Oval window

Answer 35

The connecting point between the middle ear and the fluid filled inner ear

Question 36

Hemholtz place theory

Answer 36

We hear pitches because different sound waves trigger activity at different places in the cochlea membrane

Question 37

Hemholtz Place theory easily explains

Vibration

Question 40

Frequency theory

Answer 40

We sense pitch by the basilar membrane in the cochlea vibrating at the same rate as the sound

Conductive hearing loss caused by

Answer 44

Damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea like eardrum and ossicles

Question 45

Solution of conductive hearing loss

Answer 45

Buy hearing aid. It will take over the job of ossicles
