Health | The outer ear collects sound waves and works like a funnel to send them through a narrow tube (ear canal) that leads inside the ear. At the end of the ear canal is the eardrum (tympanic membrane). (references) | |
The simplest way to detect an active infection in the middle ear is to look in the child's ear with an otoscope, a light instrument that allows the physician to examine the outer ear and the eardrum. (references) | ||
An ear infection affects important parts in the ear that help us hear. Sounds around us are collected by the outer ear. Then sound travels to the middle ear, which has three tiny bones and is filled with air. After that, sound moves on to the inner ear. The inner ear is where sounds are turned into electrical signals and sent to the brain. (references) | ||
