🎙️ Episode Description: Ear, Hearing, and Balance – From Sound to Stability
In this high-yield episode of PodBites, Adam Khan and Ahmed Altayeb take you on a guided tour through the anatomy and physiology of the ear—diving deep into how we hear, how we balance, and what can go wrong.
From the external ear’s sound funneling to the cochlea’s fine-tuned frequency coding, and from the semicircular canals’ motion sensing to reflexes that keep our vision steady—this episode packs everything from structure to clinical pearls. Plus, they break down key tests like Rinne and Weber, and close with a real-world case on BPPV.
💡 Key Highlights:
✔️ External, middle, and inner ear anatomy – with functional correlations
✔️ Cochlear physiology – organ of Corti, tonotopy, and sensory coding
✔️ Vestibular system – utricle, saccule, semicircular canals, cupula, otoliths
✔️ VOR, nystagmus, MLF, and the caloric test explained
✔️ Rinne & Weber tests made simple
✔️ Clinical case of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
✔️ Practice questions + final recap for active recall
Whether you're reviewing for exams or brushing up on the basics, this episode tunes your knowledge to the perfect frequency.
🎧 Listen now and turn your understanding of the ear into second nature!
