Question

The role of the middle ear is _____. to localize sounds in the environment to initiate the process of transduction via hair cells to enable fine-tuned frequency analyses of complex tonal stimuli to amplify vibrations from the air for transmission through liquid

Answer 1

The role of the middle ear is _____.

To amplify vibrations from the air for transmission through liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

The Middle ear transmits acoustic energy from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear by transforming the incoming wave that travels through the air to a wave that can travel through liquid. Thus, because the wave that travels through the air is weak it provides it the power it requires to travel through liquid environments with the same message.

Answer 2

I think the role of the middle ear is to amplify vibrations from the air for transmission through liquid. It matches the impedance of the air in the external auditory canal to the impedance of the fluid in the inner ear. Middle ear is the part of the ear that is between the ear drum and the oval window, it transmits sound form the outer ear to the inner ear.
