You and your ear (Season 2)

Today we will be discussing all about your ear (Physiology of hearing). Probably, you will be hearing the traffic sound or a whisper from a friend, your colleague may be laughing it off or even you are hearing a louder sound like that of a Siren. Sounds are everywhere and you have parts in your body that lets you hear sounds; that is your ear.
Ears play very vital roles in human life. The Pinna collects the sounds from the environment process them and send the sound signal to the brain for interpretation. That is not all, the ears helps you to maintain balance. That you are able to stand, bend, move, are all good works of your ear organ. Ear is made up of three parts. All works together to enable you hear, interact, and socialize.
Outer ear: This starts from the part called Pinna. It is the part of the ear that people can see. Its work is to catch sound, pass it through the ear passage called Canal. Canal is where ear wax is produced. Ear Wax is the brownish stuff that contained chemicals that fights infection. The wax also collects dirts and stops foreign bodies from getting to the middle ear
From Middle Ear, sound will travel through the ear passage till it gets to the eardrum. From Ear drum, the sound will enter Inner Ear. From the Inner Ear, the sound will get to the brain and we will be able to understand what we hear. If anything stops the sound from moving till the brain then we have hearing loss.
