Description: Considers the phenomenon of sound and how it is received, amplified, and transmitted by the structures of the external, middle, and inner ears. Clarifies the location and function of these complex structures through animation. Reviews the measurement of volume, frequency, and pitch in decibels and hertz. Covers the hearing threshold and the pain threshold and mentions the toll excessive noise can take on the ear. Explains how the ear functions as the organ of equilibrium., Shows examples of ordinary activities which depend on the sensory information received through the ear. Explains the phenomena of sound and the structure and functions of the ear through animated diagrams.
