When flying in an airplane, the pressure change causes our ears to "pop". What structure is responsible for equalizing the pressure within our ears? Ear canal Oval window Round window Stapedius
Madhur L.
Sometimes when riding an elevator or driving up or down a hilly road a person's ears "pop" as the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ear is cqualized. Determine the pressure difference (in psi) associated with this phenomenon if it occurs during a 150 -ft elevation change.
A brief exposes of extremely high sound level, of or more generated by takeoff of jet plane or rocket, may damage ear drums thus permanently impairing hearting ability. (a) $80 \mathrm{~dB}$ (b) $20 \mathrm{~dB}$ (c) $150 \mathrm{~dB}$ (d) $60 \mathrm{~dB}$
