About this document
Mechanics of Hearing and Sound Transmission by Liew Shu Yan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the mechanics of hearing in humans. It describes how sound is transmitted through the ear canal to the middle and inner ear, where the vibrations are transduced into nerve impulses. The inner ear contains hair cells that detect sound vibrations and transmit electrical signals to the brain. Loud noises can damage these hair cells, causing noise-induced hearing loss. The normal hearing range for young adults is 20Hz to 20,000Hz, but aging can decrease the ability to hear higher frequen
