The tympanic membrane, located in the middle ear,
vibrates when sound waves reach it. These vibrations pass
to the auditory ossicles, which amplify the sound and send
it to the inner ear for conversion into electrical signals.
The tympanic membrane rupture has an altered function in
hearing. Moreover, under normal conditions, the eardrum
vibrates when receiving sound waves. Additionally, it transmits
these vibrations to the ossicles.
