PDF_The Noise Manual, 6th edition – Topic 04: Anatomy and Physiology of the Ear: Normal Function and the Damage Underlying Hearing Loss

Select only what you need from The Noise Manual, 6th edition with AIHA's new topic bundles! This bundle includes Chapter 4 from the full text, plus the cover, front matter, table of contents, symbols and abbreviations, and appendices.

In Chapter 4: Anatomy and Physiology of the Ear: Normal Function and the Damage Underlying Hearing Loss, learn about the auditory system, structures that are most vulnerable to noise damage, and noise-induced auditory injury. Check out the excerpt below:

"The human auditory system is a complex structure that does an excellent job of allowing individuals to hear at a wide dynamic range. The combination of the conductive auditory system (external and middle ear systems) and the cochlear amplifier from the outer hair cells provides audibility to low-intensity sounds without creating a cochlear system in which moderate sound intensity levels could damage the organ of Corti. Along with the complexity of the system is a great deal of fragility, as the organ of Corti in particular is dependent on very precise mechanical and metabolic organization and stability."
