The pitch of a sound wave is related to its
◦ frequency.
◦ duration.
◦ decibels.

◦ transduce the sound waves into vibration.
◦ dampen the vibration as it conducts to the cochlea.
◦ amplify the vibration as it conducts to the cochlea.
◦ transmit otitis media to the cochlea.
◦ equalize pressure in the middle ear.
