The Outer and Middle Ear
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The outer ear collects sound waves and the middle ear's three bones amplify and transfer them to the inner ear.
Show
Vibration of the eardrum moves three small bones that press against the fluid-filled cochlea.
Watch for
Amplification is necessary because air-to-fluid transfer loses energy. Without it, most sound would not register.
