Introduction:

Ear is a sensory organ involved in the hearing and balance mechanism. The ear is divided into three parts- the outer ear, middle ear, and the internal ear. The outer ear collects the different sound waves and transfers them to the middle ear, where they get vibrated by the three ossicles due to that the movement of fluid occurs in the inner ear which results in the sound production by the interaction of information with the brain.
