Age-Related Characteristics of Vestibular Neurons

The structure of the hearing organ. The hearing organ consists of three parts: the outer, middle
and inner ear. If the first two parts perform auxiliary functions, then the perception of sound stimuli is
carried out in the part of the inner ear called the cochlea. The function of the outer ear, which is formed
from the punna and the external auditory canal, is to capture and transmit sound waves to the eardrum,
with which synchronous vibration begins. There is a transmission mechanism in the middle ear - three
auditory bones - malleus, incus and stapes, which are connected to each other in series. Their role is to
reduce the amplitude of vibrations and increase their strength.
