耳膜

ěr mó

English translation of 耳膜

eardrum

The Chinese word '耳膜' refers to the thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It is crucial for hearing as it vibrates in response to sound waves, allowing the sound to be transmitted to the bones in the middle ear. This term is used in both medical contexts and everyday conversations about hearing and ear health.
