About this document
Understanding Acoustic Reflection Mechanisms by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The acoustic reflex is triggered by high-intensity sound stimuli and causes the reflex contraction of the ear muscles such as the tensor tympani and the stapedius. This stabilizes the ossicular chain of the middle ear and prevents injuries to sound transmission. The reflex is assessed by measuring the intensity thresholds required to provoke the muscular contraction.
