As the narrator indicates the tympanic muscle was removed to allow better visualization of the remaining structures in the middle ear. The tympanic muscle is thought to tighten the ossicular chain to limit the sound transmission to the inner ear. The purpose of this is protection. The muscle appears to act against impulsive sounds and also potentially to reduce the influence of our hearing of our own voice when we speak.
@DrLeoCharm Glad you appreciated the film. The info on the provider is on our web site where you found the link. I am unaware of other films that illustrate the topic in which you are interested, but if you wish to contact me thru the Ask the Expert link on the web site I would be glad to provide names of other auditory physiologists whom you may wish to contact.
@ya2006mi thank you for the feedback. I agree this is one of the best videos on this topic. Brandon Pletsch did a great job and I was glad to find it.
Please excuse the thumbs down reply. I did this by accident and can't see how to undo it.
Brilliant!

very good. Why is the tympanal muscle removed? It has a function I guess?

Great Job! Could you cover the ACTUAL sound transduction with the hair cells, ion channels and transmitters?
