Yu bin no dɛn tin ya bɔt yu ia drɔm (tympanic membrane)? Mek wi tok!

Yu dɔn ɛva wɔnda aw wi kin yɛri ɔl dɛn sawnd ya? Dis kin ɛp frɔm wan pat we rili smɔl, bɔt we rili impɔtant na wi yes. Dat na di ia drɔm.

Wetin na ɛardrɔm? Lɛ wi ɔndastand gud gud wan!

fכ simpul wan, di "eardrum" na wan rili tכn, rawnd mεmbran na wi yes, we dכkta dεn kכl am di `(Tympanic Membrane)`. I tan lɛk drɔm in skin. Na in de separet di ɔda yes frɔm di midul yes.

Imajin, we yu go ɔlsay insay yu yes kanal, di las ples we yu go si am na di ia drɔm. I tan lɛk domɔt, fɔ tɔk di kɔrɛkt tin. Na di ɔda say na da domɔt de, tri smɔl smɔl bon dɛn (`(Ossicles)`) de we de ɛp wi fɔ yɛri.

Naw yu go mɔs de wɔnda aw di ia drɔm tan, aw i big. I rili flat ɛn rawnd . I gɛt lɛk wan sɛntimita in dayamita, fɔ tɔk di rayt tin. Dat na lɛk wan pat pan tri pat pan di sayz we wan nikel gɛt.
