Trommelfell

Also known as tympanic membrane, ear drum, myringa

dünne Membran im Ohr

AI overview

Your eardrum is a thin, cone-shaped membrane inside your ear that separates your outer ear from your middle ear and plays a crucial role in hearing. When sound waves hit it, the eardrum vibrates and passes these vibrations along to tiny bones in your middle ear, which then transmit them to the fluid-filled part of your ear that allows you to actually perceive sound.

Das Trommelfell (lateinisch Membrana tympani, altgriechisch Myrinx) ist eine dünne Membran am inneren Ende des Gehörgangs (sofern ein solcher vorhanden ist) und schließt diesen zum Mittelohr ab. Das Trommelfell wandelt Schallwellen in mechanische Schwingungen um und leitet diese an die Gehörknöchelchenkette im Mittelohr weiter.
