Ear, Nose, and Throat

Description

Our ears, nose, and throat are all situated close together in the skull, but each has a different function. In this episode, Dr. Alice Roberts shows viewers the tiny bones in the ear called the ossicles. It's clear that our ears are very intricate and vulnerable to damage. She then explains that loud noise can cause permanent harm to our ears. Every time you leave a nightclub or concert with ringing in the ears, you have to some extent damaged your hearing, so it is very important to provide protection. Dr. Roberts points out that the ears have a vital role to play in balance and also explains some of the roles of the nose and the throat.
