The nerve supply comes from the n. auriculo-temporalis and the 

 n. vagus. We have not sufficient evidence to prove that nerves 

 reached it from the ganglion geniculi. 



The sensation produced by lightly touching the membrane is 

 pain and this is to be associated with irritation of the particular 

 nerve endings found in the epithelium.
