What happens to your eardrum when you hear a loud sound? • If the amplitude of the sound wave is large enough, the pressure tears part of the ear drum away from the end of the ear canal. • Without a connnected ear drum, sound vibrations are not transmitted to the cochlea, and a person is deaf until the ear drum heals.

Is this a linear increase or just part of a LONG PERIOD OSCILLATION?
