An auditory vibration (aka acoustic wave or sound vibration) is when the tympanic membrane (eardrum) is hit by sound waves and vibrates. This vibration is picked up, amplified and transmitted through the middle ear by the ossicles. This vibration ends at the oval window since it changes to fluid vibration and ultiimately electrical energy in the inner ear.

What causes the auditory ossicles to vibrate?
The sound waves, coming through the auditory canal, strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).The eardrum vibrates because of the soundwaves.This vibration is picked up by the ossicles and transmitted through the middle ear to the oval window.Therefore it is the soundwaves causing the eardrum to vibrate that ultimately makes the ossicles vibrate.

What membrane functions as an eardrum?
The eardrum is the common name for the tympanic membrane.This is the membrane that separates the external ear to the middle ear. The vibration given by sound travels to the tympanic membrane, where it transfers the vibrations to the auditory ossicles.
Where the auditory cortex is located?
The auditory cortex is located in the brain, and is responsible for processing auditory information received from the ears.
What nerves carries messages of sound to the brain?
the cochlear nerve
What receives sound sound vibration and relays it to the auditory nerve fibers?

How does the brain interpret sound waves?
After sound waves come in through the ear and are funneled through the eardrum to make it vibrate, the malleus (hammer) transmits the vibration to the incus (anvil), which passes the vibration on to the stapes (stirrup). Then hair cells convert the mechanical vibration to electrical signals, which in turn excite the fibers of the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve then carries the signals to the brain stem. From there, nerve fibers send the information to the auditory cortex, the part of the brain involved in perceiving sound. In the auditory cortex, adjacent neurons respond to tones of similar frequency, but they specialize in different combinations. Some respond to pure tones, and some to complex sounds. Some respond to long sounds and some to short, and some to sounds that rise or fall in frequency. Other neurons might combine information from these neurons to recognize a word or an instrument. Sound is processed on both sides of the brain, but often the left side is specialized in language. Damage to the left auditory cortex can leave someone able to hear but unable to understand words.
Does your ear or the brain do the hearing?
both. Your eardrum receives the vibrations of the sound waves, your cochlea converts that vibration into electrical signals which are then interpreted or "heard" by the auditory cortex of your brain. the brain after it picks up the sound from the ear..
