The effects of the impedance mismatch between air pressure and the fluids of the inner ear are primarily reduced by the:
A) hair cells
B) cochlea
C) organ of Corti
D) ossicles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The impedance mismatch between air pressure and the fluids of the inner ear is primarily reduced by the ossicles, which amplify and transmit sound waves from the air to the fluids of the inner ear. The hair cells, cochlea, and organ of Corti are involved in the transduction of sound waves into neural signals, but do not directly address the impedance mismatch.
