"Earflaps" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Earflaps refer to the movable flaps or covers that are attached to the top of a hat, such as a beanie or a ushanka, that fit over the ears to protect them from cold or wind. They can also be a feature of some helmets, headbands, or other types of headgear. Earflaps are designed to provide extra warmth and protection for the ears, and are often found in cold-weather clothing or gear.
Earache refers to a sharp, piercing pain in the ear, usually caused by an infection, inflammation, or another condition affecting the middle or inner ear.
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is a thin layer of tissue that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It plays a crucial role in hearing, as it vibrates when sound waves reach it and transmits these vibrations to the ossicles (three small bones) in the middle ear.
