Researchers have linked the release of airbags in cars to impaired hearing. When an
airbag released, there is a rapid increase in air pressure, which can damage the inner ear.
Human Ear Structures
1. Auditory Canal
2. Cochlea
3. Ossicles
4. Tympanic Membrane
The highly compressed pressure waves created by the release of an airbag, travel from
the outside environment to the auditory nerve through structures of the human ear in the
sequence , , , and .
