Abstract

Global balance of inner and middle ear pressure is controlled by the cerebrospinal fluid inside and the atmospheric pressure outside. The cochlear and vestibular aqueducts and the Eustachian tube, connected by a one-way communication, provide a fine control over inner and middle ear pressure.
