Sound waves cause the thin skin of the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration, in turn, vibrates a chain of three tiny bones which are attached, at one end of the chain, to the eardrum, and at the other end of the chain, to a thin drumlike structure on on the opening to the cochlea. The vibration of this "round window" as it is called, causes the fluid inside the cochlea to flow, which in turn causes tiny hairs inside the cochlea to move. These hairs, when moved, send signals to the brain which are interpreted as sound.

How does the sound from loudspeakers reach the audience?
Because of the vibrations in the air.

What the ear does?
The ear receives vibrations or sound waves in the air through the ear's opening and down the ear canal. These vibrations strike the eardrum, which then makes vibrations. These vibrations are passed to three bones in the middle ear and into the cochlea, which then translates the vibrations into sound.
Where do sound messages go after they reach the cochlea?
eustachian tube
How do sound vibrations reach the cochlea when conduction deafness is present?
Sound is conducted to the receptors of the ear through vibrations of the skull bones. This is because in conduction deafness the ossicles are fused such as the stapes foot plate which can fuse to the oval window, and ossicles can fuse to oneanother from overgrowth of bony tissue. Vibrations arent specific this way and detailed so vibrations are picked up by larger surrounding bones which becomes distorted sound.
Where is the basilar membrane most sensitive to the vibrations of very high-frequency sound waves?
closest to the cochlea
What structure passes sound vibrations to the cochlea turning sound vibration into mechanical movements?
those 3 tiny ear bones
