Question

State whether the given statement is True or False :
The part of the ear that is damaged most easily by continued exposure to loud noise is the stirrup.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Sounds can be harmful when they are too loud, even for a brief time, or when they are both loud and long-lasting. These sounds can damage sensitive structures in the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).

Loud noise is particularly harmful to the inner ear (cochlea). A one-time exposure to extremely loud sounds or listening to loud sounds for a long time can cause hearing loss. Loud noise can damage cells and membranes in the cochlea.
