Yu no bɔt di smɔl smɔl bon dɛn we de na yu yes? (Ossicles) Mek wi tok abaut dis!

Yu dɔn ɛva wɔnda aw yu go yɛri ɔl di sawnd dɛn klia wan? Dis na bikɔs ɔf di smɔl smɔl pat dɛn we de insay wi yes, bɔt we rili impɔtant. Dɛn kɔl dɛn smɔl pat dɛn de ɔsikul . Dis na rili tri pan di smɔl smɔl bon dɛn na wi bɔdi. Tide, wi go tɔk ditayli bɔt dɛn ɔsikul ya, aw dɛn de wok, ɛn di prɔblɛm dɛn we dɛn kin kɔz.

Wetin na ɔsikul dɛn? Usay dɛn de?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, di ɔsikul dɛn na tri smɔl smɔl bon dɛn na yu midul yes . Dɛn kɔnɛkt togɛda lɛk link dɛn we de insay chen. Dɛn tri bon ya na:

1. Malleus: Dɛn kin kɔl dis bak "hama" bikɔs i shep lɛk hama.

2. Incus: Dɛn kin kɔl dis bak "anvil". I de wok lɛk anvil we dɛn kin bit wit hama.

3. Stap: Dis na di smɔl bon we de na wi bɔdi. Dɛn kin kɔl am bak "strap" bikɔs i tan lɛk di shep we ɔs in sadul gɛt.

Tink bɔt aw dɛn tri bon ya smɔl! Bɔt if dɛn nɔ bin de, wi nɔ bin fɔ ebul fɔ yɛri ɛnitin fayn fayn wan. dis chen fכ di כsikul dεm de stat na yu ia dכm (tympanic membrane) . di ia dram na wan tכn mεmbran bitwin yu כta εn midul yes. di chen fכ di כsikul dεm de εnd na di kכklia na yu insay yes .

If yu go dip smɔl...

• Malleus: Wan say pan dis de kɔnɛkt to di ia drɔm. We di ia drɔm de shek shek, di malleus sɛf de shek shek. di כda say na di malleus de kכnekt to di inkus.
• Incus: Dis tan lεk wan intamediεri bitwin di malleus εn di stapes. di wok we di inkus de du na fכ gεt vaybreshכn frכm di malleus εn transmit dεm to di stapes.
• Stap: Dis smɔl bon de pik di vaybreshɔn frɔm di inkus ɛn push dɛn go na wan ples we dɛn kɔl di oval winda , we na wan kayn domɔt na di kɔklia na di insay yes.

Yu ɔndastand naw aw dis smɔl tin we dɛn de yuz fɔ du tin kɔmpleks ɛn impɔtant?

Aw di ɔsikul dɛn kin wok? Aw dɛn kin ɛp wi fɔ yɛri sawnd?

Okay, naw lɛ wi si aw dɛn smɔl bon ya we dɛn kɔl ɔsikul de ɛp wi fɔ yɛri sawnd. I tan lɛk se na chen riakshɔn .

1. Fɔs, sawnd wev dɛn we kɔmɔt na do go insay yu yes ɛn nak yu ia drɔm. Dɔn di ia drɔm kin bigin fɔ shek . Jɔs lɛk we yu nak drɔm, i de shek shek.

2. di malleus bon we kכnekt to di ia dכm de muv bak wit di vaybrεshכn.

3. we di malleus de muv, di inkus bon we de atak am de muv bak.

4. nεks, di inkus de transmit dis vaybrεshכn to di stapes bon.

5. di stapes bon de push dis vaybreshכn insay di oval winda fכ di kכklia na di insay ia.

Di impɔtant tin na dat we sawnd vaybreshɔn de travul tru dis chen we gɛt ɔsikl, dɛn kin amplify . dat min se di koklia de gεt wan strכng sawnd signal pas di sawnd signal we de kכmכt na di ia dכm. Dis na di rizin we mek wi kin yɛri ivin saful sawnd dɛn klia wan.

di koklia gεt wan wata εn sכ m ia sεl dεm we rili sεnsitiv . di vaybreshכn frכm di stap dεm de muv dis wata, we de mek di ia sεl dεm wok. Dɛn ia sɛl dɛn ya kin chenj di sawnd we de shek shek to ilɛktrik signal ɛn sɛn dɛn to di bren. di bren de intaprit dεn signal dεm de εn tεl wi se, "Oh, dat na buz sawnd."

Imajin, ɔl dis kin apin insay wan blink ɔf wan yay! I wɔndaful, nɔto so?

Wetin na di kɔmɔn sik ɛn kɔndishɔn dɛm wae kin afɛkt di ɔsikul dɛm?

If prɔblɛm de wit dɛn smɔl bon dɛn ya, di sawnd we de shek nɔ de travul fayn fayn wan to di insay yes, we kin mek pɔsin nɔ yɛri fayn . sכm kכndyushכn dεm we de afekt di כsikul dεm na:

• di abnכmaliti dεm we dεn bכn wit di כsikul dεm: Na sכm pikin dεn kin bכn we dεn nכ gεt כsikl, wit i nכ de divεlכp fayn, כ wit i de gro tu mכch. Sɔmtɛm dɛn bon ya nɔ kin kɔnɛkt fayn, ɔ dɛn kin de fa frɔm dɛnsɛf ɔ dɛn kin jɔyn togɛda.
• Otosclerosis: Dis na we wan pan di osikul dεm (we kin bi di stapes bon) kin stכp pan di tisu we de rawnd am εn i nכ kin ebul fכ muv fri wan, lεk se i stכp na day bכdi.
• Cholesteatoma: insay dis, di skin sεl dεm de bil insay di midul ia, we de fכm wan lump. dis kin pwεl di כsikul dεm εn i kin mek dεn nכ muv.
• Krכnik midul ia infεkshכn: We yu de infεkshכn na di yes we de kכntinyu, i kin mek di midul ia inflam, fulכp wit wata, εn i kin mek di כsikul dεm nכ muv. If dɛn nɔ trit am fayn, i kin pwɛl fɔ ɔltɛm.
• Ossicular-chain dislocation: If bad bad injuri de na di ed, dis chen of ossicles kin dislocated ɔ brok. Dis kin mek di vaybreshɔn nɔ kin transmit fayn fayn wan. dis chen kin brok bak bay sכm abnכmal growth (tכmכr) כ krεse infεkshכn na di yes.

Us sayn dɛm wae kin de pan dis kayn tin?

If prɔblɛm de wit yu ɔsikul dɛm, yu kin gɛt sɔm sayn dɛm lɛk:

If yu gɛt wan ɔ mɔ pan dɛn sik ya, yu fɔ rili go to dɔktɔ .

Us tεst dεm dεn kin du fכ no if prכblεm de wit di כsikul dεm?

We yu go to dɔktɔ, i go mɔs bi se i go chɛk yu yes. Dɛn kin du dɛn tɛst ya:

• Otoskopi: dis involv fכ luk insay yu yes wit sכmכl instrכmεnt (wan ``otoscope'') we gεt layt. Dis kin chɛk fɔ tin dɛn lɛk di ia drɔm, wata we de na di midul yes, ɛn infekshɔn.
