Sanskrit Name: शब्दानुवहा, शब्दाभिवहा, शब्दपथः, शब्दवहस्रोतस्
The external auditory canal and the Eustachian tube are two distinct structures in the ear. The external auditory canal is a tube-like passage that leads from the outer ear to the eardrum, playing a crucial role in directing sound waves. In contrast, the Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat, helping to equalize pressure in the ear and drain fluid.
