  • In most tetrapods, the tympanic middle ear provides impedance matching between the air and inner ear fluids and enhances pressure hearing in air. (scielo.br)
  • reported that, the terrestrial adult salamanders, the fully aquatic juvenile salamanders and even lung fish which are completely not adapted to aerial hearing were able to detect air borne sound without having a tympanic middle ear. (scielo.br)
  • These muscles contract in response to loud sounds, thereby reducing the transmission of sound to the inner ear. (wikipedia.org)
  • Additionally, the middle ear muscles can contract in response to loud noises, reducing the amount of sound that reaches the inner ear and protecting it from damage. (hearingresearch.org)
  • The intrinsic muscles, on the other hand, are confined to the auricula and are six in number, four on its lateral and two on its cranial or medial surface. (co.ma)
  • This muscle contracts in response to a loud noise, making the chain of ossicles more rigid so that less sound is transmitted. (merckmanuals.com)
  • The ossicles is then more rigid, thereby weakening the loudness. (neuromatiq.com)
