037 How Sound is Transferred to the Inner Ear

Leslie Samuel explains how sound is transferred to the inner ear, focusing on the role of the outer, middle, and inner ear structures. The process of impedance matching is crucial for transferring sound from air to fluid in the cochlea. The mechanics of the ossicles, including the malleus, incus, and stapes, are discussed, highlighting their role in amplifying sound pressure. The video concludes with a preview of the next topic, which will delve deeper into the cochlea.
