Usage Examples English
  • simultaneously in the seventh week of development the auditory tube begins to form out of the tympanic membrane.
  • A pressure increase is achieved by reducing the area ratio from the tympanic membrane (drum) to the oval window ("stapes" bone) by 20.
  • Sensation of the outer surface of the tympanic membrane is supplied mainly by the auriculotemporal nerve, a branch of the mandibular nerve (cranial nerve V3), with contributions from the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X), the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), and possibly the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX).
  • Vibrations that contact the tympanic membrane travel through the three ossicles and into the inner ear.

  • Pressure waves move the tympanic membrane which in turns moves the malleus, the first bone of the middle ear.
  • The laser Doppler vibrometer is being used in clinical otology for the measurement of tympanic membrane (eardrum), malleus (hammer), and prosthesis head displacement in response to sound inputs of 80- to 100-dB sound-pressure level.
  • The tympanic membrane (also known as the eardrum) may be perforated by the intensity of the pressure waves.
  • The outer ear is the external portion of the ear and includes the fleshy visible pinna (also called the auricle), the ear canal, and the outer layer of the eardrum (also called the tympanic membrane).
  • Comparison of hearing sensitivity through bone conduction and directly through the ear canal can aid audiologists in identifying pathologies of the middle ear—the area between the tympanic membrane (ear drum) and the cochlea (inner ear).

  • A physical exam usually checks for visibility of the tympanic membrane, which can be blocked by excessive cerumen.
  • As its typical symptoms overlap with other conditions, such as acute external otitis, symptoms alone are not sufficient to predict whether acute otitis media is present; it has to be complemented by visualization of the tympanic membrane.
