- Part 6 (Cochlea): It contains sensory cells for hearing.
Part 7 (Auditory Nerve): It transmits the impulse of hearing to the brain.
Part 8 (Eustachian Tube): It equalises air pressure on both sides of the tympanum. - Sharp objects may damage the (part 3) ear drum and cause deafness. Deafness can result from eardrum or tympanic ruptures.
