Ear canal resonance refers to the amplification of sound waves as they travel through the ear canal, enhancing certain frequencies, particularly between 2000 and 4000 Hz, which are crucial for speech perception. This natural amplification is due to the ear canal's shape and length, acting as a resonant cavity that boosts sound pressure levels at specific frequencies, improving auditory sensitivity and clarity.

A resonant cavity is a hollow space surrounded by conductive walls that allows electromagnetic waves to resonate at specific frequencies, amplifying them through constructive interference. It is a fundamental component in devices like lasers, microwave ovens, and particle accelerators, where precise control of electromagnetic wave frequencies is crucial.
