Explanation

Ossicles (Malleus, Incus, Stapes) transmit sound vibrations in the auditory system.

What is the phenomenon where the sensitivity to a constant stimulus decreases over time?

Adaptation

Explanation

Adaptation is the decrease in sensitivity to a constant stimulus.

What is the term used to describe the minimum stimulus needed for a person to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time?

Absolute threshold

Explanation

Absolute threshold is the minimum stimulus for 50% detection.
