Question:
Explain how the human ear works.
Answer:
Working of Human Ear: The structure of the ear is classified into three parts outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.
Outer ear: The outer is called Pinna. It collects the sound from surroundings and passes it in the middle ear through the auditory canal.
Middle ear: At the end of the auditory canal there is a thin elastic membrane called the eardrum. When compression of sound strikes the eardrum, the eardrum pushes inward and while the rarefaction eardrum moves outward. Thus, the eardrum starts vibrating.
The middle ear consists of three bones hammer, anvil and stirrup. These bones amplify the vibration and the amplified sound waves pass from the middle ear to the inner ear through the oval window.
Inner ear: In the inner ear the oval window is connected with a coiled tube structure called cochlea that converts pressure variations into electrical signals. The other side of the cochlea is connected to the auditory nerve which sends these electrical signals to the brain and the brain interprets them as sound.

What our students and parents say about us!
Saiyam is using EduSaksham online courses from past one year. He is able to complete his tutorials, worksheets, and assignments on his own. Once he is done with worksheets, he can check his answers and if he has done any mistakes, then he can check the correct answers and explanations. They have been given so well that he is able to understand them himself and rarely he asks us for any clarification. He enjoys using the platform and has learned and improved a lot in Mathematics. I would recommend EduSaksham to all parents who want their kids to learn in a structured way and also enjoy the learning process.
Neeraj (Saiyam's Father)
I would like to thank Edusaksham on behalf of my son Aditya who attended " Math Olympiad crash course for 5 weeks". As per Aditya, this course helped him to understand new topics like Roman numerals and decimal places which were not taught in his school till date and had a better understanding of other topics. I personally thank EduSaksham for all the help and support.
Geeta Bansal (Aditya's Mother)
We had a good experience with EduSaksham. Because sheets are available online, Vedant enjoyed doing more and more sheets without any reminders. I could leave him on his own as he was very much motivated to cover the topics. Practice is very important in maths but it becomes difficult for us to prepare sheets, I am glad we found EduSaksham where in a lot of in a lot of sheets are available for practice and the quality of questions are also good. As it's a venture from IITians we could think of giving it a try and I am glad we tried
Shikha Chowdhary (Vedant's Mother)
I have grown up in a family where my father used to give me practice maths paper every day which I need to finish before I go to play. I think that strong foundation of solving new questions every day helped me to clear my IITJEE exam. But as working women, I always had time challenge to create practice Math papers for my daughter. Thanks to EduSaksham, their questions are so logical and conceptual that I don't feel the guilt of not creating practice questions by myself :). There are plenty of worksheet along with the tutorials for each chapter. It has made parents life easier :) And the best part is my daughter loves doing it. Thank you EduSaksham.
