  • Forceful equalization under these conditions can increase the pressure differential between the inner ear and the middle ear, resulting in round window rupture with perilymph leakage and inner ear damage. (cdc.gov)
  • It happens when too much fluid builds up in the vestibular system. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The fluid within the vestibular system promotes little hair-like projections which sends out signals back to the brain about the orientation of the head. (iytmed.com)
  • Sound vibrations that occur in the air are transmitted through the external auditory canal, the eardrum and the chain of auditory ossicles to the vestibular window of the labyrinth, causing wave-like movements of the perilymph, which, propagating, are transmitted to the spiral organ and excite receptors. (bystudin.com)

  • The tympanic cavity houses three tiny bones, the auditory ossicles , which transfer the vibrations of the tympanic membrane into the waves in the fluid and membranes of the inner ear. (anatomy.app)
  • The potassium-rich endolymph flows into the perilymph, causing your symptoms to occur until the membrane heals, and/or the fluid balance is restored (2). (pt-helper.com)

  • For the organ of Corti, the basilar membrane is permeable to perilymph. (wikipedia.org)
  • Due to its location, the basilar membrane places the hair cells adjacent to both the endolymph and the perilymph, which is a precondition of hair cell function. (wikipedia.org)
  • Furthermore, sound waves travelling to the "floppier" end of the basilar membrane have to travel through a longer fluid column than sound waves travelling to the nearer, stiffer end. (wikipedia.org)
  • Each part of the basilar membrane, together with the surrounding fluid, can therefore be thought of as a "mass-spring" system with different resonant properties: high stiffness and low mass, hence high resonant frequencies at the near (base) end, and low stiffness and high mass, hence low resonant frequencies, at the far (apex) end. (wikipedia.org)
