eardrum

The term 'tímpano' in Spanish refers to the 'eardrum'. The eardrum is a part of your ear that transmits sound vibrations from the outer ear to the middle and inner ear. It is a small, thin, cone-shaped membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear. It plays a crucial role in your ability to hear, as the vibrations it transmits allow your brain to interpret the sounds around you.
