As we have discussed in the Structure of Human Middle Ear 

  • The middle ear is connected with the inner ear through two small openings closed by the membranes.
  • These openings are:
    • (a) fenestra ovalis (oval window) 
    • (b) fenestra rotunda (round window)
  • The fenestra rotunda is enclosed by a flexible secondary tympanic membrane. 
  • The fenestra rotunda is responsible for equalizing the pressure on either side of the tym­panic membrane.

Therefore, the fenestra rotunda is responsible for equalizing the pressure on either side of the tym­panic membrane.
