I tēnei rā, ka kōrero tātou mō tētahi o ngā wāhanga tino whakamiharo me te tino hira o tō tinana: ō taringa. Whakaarohia—te nui o te mahi a ēnei whekau iti nei māu! Mai i te pārekareka ki tētahi waiata ataahua me te kōrero ki tētahi hoa tae noa ki te oho ake ki te rangi reka o te tangi a te manu—kei reira ō taringa hei āwhina i a koe ki te wheako i ngā mea katoa. Nō reira, he aha tonu kei roto i ō taringa, ā, me pēhea te mahi tika? Me tūhura ngātahi tātou i tēnei mea i roto i ngā kupu māmā, ngāwari ki te mārama.
He aha te taringa, ā, he aha te mahi tūturu a te taringa?
Ki te kī māmā noa iho, ko te taringa te okana e āhei ai koe ki te whakarongo . Engari ehara i te mea koinā anake—he mahi nui anō hoki tā ō taringa ki te pupuri i te taurite o tō tinana. He mea whakamiharo, kāore? Ahakoa kei te tū tonu koe, kei te hikoi, kei te oma rānei, kei roto i tō taringa tētahi wāhanga motuhake e mahi ana hei pupuri i a koe kia mau tonu.
Hei whakahaere i ēnei mahi e rua, ka wehea te taringa kia toru ngā wāhanga. Whakaarohia rātou he rōpū e mahi tahi ana ki te hopu i ngā oro, ka tukuna atu ki tō roro. Me wehewehe tātou i ia wāhanga.
Ngā wāhanga e toru o te taringa: He tirohanga taipitopito
E toru ngā wāhanga matua o tō taringa:
1. Te Taringa o Waho
2. Te Taringa Waenga
3. Te Taringa o Roto
He mahi motuhake tā ia o ēnei wāhanga.
1. Te Taringa o Waho: Te tatau tuatahi mō te oro
Ko te taringa o waho te wāhanga e kitea ana e koe. He iti noa ngā wāhanga matua o tēnei:
- Te Pinna (Auricle):
Koinei te wāhanga e kitea ana o tō taringa. He mea hanga ki te kiri me te kiko ngāwari e kiia nei ko te kiriuhi . He tino motuhake tōna āhua; he rite tana mahi ki te hāparapara. Ko tana mahi matua he kohikohi i ngā ngaru oro mai i tō taiao, ka tuku atu ki roto i te awaawa o tō taringa. Whakaarohia he aratohu e whakawātea ana i te ara kia tae pai ai te oro ki tō taringa o roto.
- Te Awa Taringa (Awa Whakarongo):
Ka haere ngā ngaru oro e kohia ana e te pine i raro i tēnei awaawa, he rite ki te ngongo iti te mahi. Ka mutu tēnei awaawa ki tō pūoro taringa. Ka whakaputahia e ngā repe motuhake i roto i tēnei awaawa te ware taringa (cerumen) .
Ehara i te mea he paru noa iho te paru taringa; he mea nui hei tiaki i ō taringa. Ka hopukina te puehu me ngā huakita, ka ārai i a rātou kia kore ai e uru ki roto. Ka pupuri hoki i te makuku o te kiri o tō awa taringa. Ko te tikanga ka puta noa te paru taringa i roto i tō taringa, nō reira kāore i te tūtohutia kia werohia, kia horoia rānei te roto o tō taringa.
- Te Pahu Taringa (Te Kiriuhi Tympanic):
Kei te pito o tō awa taringa he kiriuhi angiangi, he rite ki te kiri o te pahu. Koinei tō pahu taringa. Ina pā ngā ngaru oro mai i waho ki tēnei kiriuhi, ka tīmata te wiri . Ko tēnei pahu taringa te rohe nui i waenganui i tō taringa o waho me tō taringa waenga.
2. Taringa Waenga: He Mīhini Iti e Whakakaha Ana i te Oro
Kei tua atu i te pūoro taringa te taringa waenga—he rūma iti, kī tonu i te hau. Ko tana mahi matua he whakanui i ngā wiri e puta mai ana i te pūoro taringa, ka tuku atu ki te taringa o roto. Kei roto ētahi hanganga tino whakamiharo hei whakatutuki i tēnei.

Koinei ngā wheua iti rawa e toru o tō tinana katoa, e mōhiotia ana ko:
- Māreu (Hama)
- Incus (Anvil)
- Ngā Tūwae (Stirrup)
E hono ana ēnei wheua e toru, ā, he rite tonu tā rātou mahi ki tētahi pūnaha rīwhi iti. I te wiri o te pakirau taringa, ka nekehia te malleus, ka tukuna taua wiri ki te incus, ā, ki ngā stapes. Ka whakanuia ake e tēnei tauhohenga mekameka ā-pūkaha te kaha o ngā wiri oro.

He ngongo iti kei reira e hono ana i tō taringa waenga ki te tuara o tō korokoro, e kiia nei ko te ngongo Eustachian. Ko tana mahi matua he whakataurite i te pēhanga hau i ngā taha e rua o tō pakirau taringa. Kua rongo koe i te "pakū" o ō taringa i a koe e piki ana i te maunga, i te wā e rere ana rānei? Ina hamama koe, ina horomia rānei, ka tuwhera tēnei ngongo hei whakataurite i te pēhanga i roto i tō taringa waenga ki te taiao o waho. Mō ngā tamariki nohinohi, he poto ake, he whakapae ake tēnei ngongo, koia te take ka taea e ngā iroriki mai i te korokoro te haere ngāwari ki te taringa waenga, ā, he maha ngā wā ka puta he mate.
3. Taringa o Roto: He Pūnaha Tino Uaua!
Ka neke ngā wiri nui o te taringa waenga ki te taringa o roto. Koinei te wāhanga tino uaua o tō pūnaha whakarongo, e rua ngā hanganga matua: tētahi mō te whakarongo, tētahi mō te taurite.
- Te kokora:
He hanganga wheua tēnei, he āhua anga ngata, kī tonu i te wai. I roto, kei reira ngā mano tini o ngā pūtau makawe angiangi e rārangi ana. I te wiri o ngā stapes, ka nekehia te wai i roto i te cochlea. Mā tēnei nekehanga ka piko ngā pūtau makawe, ka huri whakamiharo i ēnei wiri oro hei tohu hiko !
- Io Whakarongo:
Ka haere ēnei tohu hiko mā roto i te io whakarongo ki tō roro. Kātahi ka tātarihia e tō roro ēnei tohu, ka āwhina i a koe ki te mōhio he oro motuhake, pērā i te waiata, i te reo rānei o tētahi e arohaina ana.
- Pūnaha Vestibular:
Ko tō taringa o roto hoki te kaiwhakahaere i te taurite o tō tinana. Kei roto i tēnei ko ngā awa haurua porowhita me ētahi atu hanganga ngawari. Ina nekehia tō mahunga, tō tinana rānei, ka kitea e tēnei pūnaha te nekehanga ka whakamōhio atu ki tō roro, kātahi ka whakatikatika i ō uaua kia mau tonu ai tō tū. Mena ka pāngia koe e te pōturi (he āhua hurihuri), tera pea nā tētahi raruraru kei roto i tēnei pūnaha taurite o te taringa o roto.

3. Ka whakanuia ake ēnei wiri i a rātou e neke ana i roto i ngā wheua ririki e toru (malleus, incus, stapes) i te taringa waenga.
4. Ka uru ngā wiri kua whakanuia ki roto i te Cochlea i roto i te taringa o roto.
5. Ka neke te wai i roto i te koklea, ka piko ai ngā pūtau makawe .
