What is another word for tympanic membranes?
Pronunciation: [tɪmpˈanɪk mˈɛmbɹe͡ɪnz] (IPA) 
Tympanic membranes, also known as eardrums, are a vital component of the human ear that helps in the process of hearing. There are many synonyms that can be used to refer to the tympanic membranes, including the middle ear membrane, myringa, and drumhead. Additionally, words like tympanum, eardrum, and tympanic membrane are often used interchangeably to describe the same physiological structure. The function of the tympanic membrane is to vibrate when sound waves enter the ear canal, amplifying the sound and transmitting it to the inner ear. Without this small, yet essential component, our ability to hear sound would be severely limited.
