Related to impedance matching: Impedance mismatch

impedance matching

the force delivered through the mechanical advantages of the lever action of the tympanic ossicles and the areal ratio of the tympanic membrane to the oval window to overcome the acoustic impedance between the ambient air and the fluid in the inner ear.
