These damping elements are used between the speaker outlet and the ear canal to smoothen the frequency response. Various acoustical resistances and sizes are available.
Key features:
    1. Smoothen and shape frequency response
    2. Various acoustical resistances and sizes

hey thanks FarCry
i understood that bit... 
the kinda questions i've are like
 
1. How Dampers work?
2. why their unit is Ohms??.. yeah seriously
3. what kind of change different dampers make to a particular FR..
 
i tried googling them
it tends to take me everywhere

Look at Rin's blog. He has done various tests with dampers and you will see the change in the FR graphs

1. In layman's terms a damper is used to dampen peaks at some certain frequencies when sound travels along the tube in which that damper is placed inside.
2. Physicists need to have a unit to calculate. One approach is to borrow the concept of resistance from an electrical system. Sometime you may come across mechanical units as well, in fact they are often  used interchangeably when referring to an acoustical system.
3. Similar thing happens as when you increase the resistance/impedance of the signal path, for instance in an amp circuit.
 
Unfortunately the term electro-acoustics is used to refer to many unrelated things these days, I'd recommend searching through books for better results.

hey guys thanks...

those curves answer a lot of things
and about the 2nd i thought so...

Hi mike, 
 
Great information!
 
 
 I'm doing some testing with the sonion's BA drivers.

 
For my new amplifier's bundle IEM.
 

 
Thanks for good information!
