Why you hurt your own ears when yell?

The human ear is an amazing organ that is capable of detecting a wide range of sounds, from a whisper to a roar. But did you know that you can actually hurt your own ears by yelling?

Here's how it works: when you yell, the sound waves travel through the air and into your ear canal. The ear canal is a tube that leads to the eardrum, which is a thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. When the sound waves hit the eardrum, it vibrates. These vibrations are then transmitted to the bones of the middle ear, which amplify the sound and send it to the inner ear.

The inner ear is a complex structure that contains the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ that is lined with tiny hair cells. These hair cells are responsible for converting the sound vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. When the sound is too loud, it can damage the hair cells, causing them to die or become less sensitive. This damage can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears), and other hearing problems.

So, the next time you feel the urge to yell, think twice! It's not worth the risk of damaging your hearing.
