The ear consists of three basic parts - the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Each part of the ear serves a specific purpose in the task of detecting and interpreting sound. The outer ear serves to collect and channel sound to the middle ear.

Inflammation of the external ear canal in rabbits is the term used to describe a group of symptoms or clinical signs that appear together, generally redness and swelling of the outer ear tissue. Clinically, this condition is known as otitis externa (otitis – inflammation of the ear; externa – external).

Sound waves travel through the outer ear, are modulated by the middle ear, and are transmitted to the vestibulocochlear nerve in the inner ear. This nerve transmits information to the temporal lobe of the brain, where it is registered as sound.

In this part of Lesson 2, we will focus on the acoustics (the branch of physics pertaining to sound) of hearing. We will attempt to understand how the human ear serves as an astounding transducer, converting sound energy to mechanical energy to a nerve impulse that is transmitted to the brain.

The cochlea is a curled tube and acts as the hearing part of the inner ear. It contains an outer and inner chamber, both of which are filled with liquid. Within the inner chamber is the organ of corti, which contains thousands of hair cells, of which each one has minute formations called stereocilia.

For other uses, see Ear (disambiguation). The ear is the organ of hearing and, in mammals, balance. In mammals, the ear is usually described as having three parts—the outer ear, middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear consists of the pinna and the ear canal. Since the outer ear is the only visible portion of the ear in most animals, the word ear often refers to the external part alone. The middle ear includes the tympanic cavity and the three ossicles.

The Outer Ear. The outer ear consists of an earflap and an approximately 2-cm long ear canal. The earflap provides protection for the middle ear in order to prevent damage to the eardrum. The outer ear also channels sound waves that reach the ear through the ear canal to the eardrum of the middle ear.

Otitis media – inflammation of the middle ear – often occurs as an extension of otitis externa. A middle ear infection is more likely to occur if the outer ear infection leads to a ruptured tympanum, the middle part of the ear canal where the ear drum is found. Otitis externa, meanwhile, typically coincides with other adjacent diseases or infections, like an upper respiratory infection or the common cold.

The Outer Ear. The outer ear is made up of the pinna, which is the flesh part you can see on the side of your head, and the ear canal, the route along which sound travels. The outer ear ends at the eardrum, a layer that divides the outer and middle ear. The Middle Ear.
