The sound waves in air entering the ear strike the ear drum (the 'tympanum') and cause it to vibrate. Those mechanical vibrations transfer through a chain of three tiny bones (the 'hammer', 'anvil', and 'stirrup') behind the ear drum, and the vibrations finally transfer to the 'cochlea' ... a closed tube, wound in a spiral, full of liquid, and lined with tiny hairs on the inside of its walls. The liquid in the cochlea picks up the vibrations, and they run up and down the inside of the tube until they die out. During that time, they run past the tiny hairs, and each of those is the end of a nerve. So when the tiny hair vibrates, a tiny signal is generated in the nerve, and that's the signal that finally flows to the brain.

∙ 11y agoSound waves falls on ear drum. It vibrates due to sound waves. To which three smallest bones are attached. They areMale-us, Incus and stapes. Stapes is attached to oval window. Sound is greatly amplified and vibrates the oval window. Vibrations of fluids aretransferredto round window via cochlea. In which very fine hair cells of 'different' lengths are situated. According to the frequency of sound waves, different hair cells vibrates. Very fine nerve fibers situated below the hair cells get stimulated. This impulses passes via eighths cranial nerve passes to Vestibular center to brain. Two ears gives the effect of stereoscopic sound as sound reaches to them at slightly different time. Now how 100's of different sounds pass through the same ear drum and same tiny bones and same oval window at a time is difficult to explain and difficult to understand.(Same telephonic wire conduct so many different sounds at the same time like orchestra.)

∙ 13y agoThe sound doesn't travel; what travels to your brain are nerve signals, that encode the sound.
that doesnt answer the question.....

What are the electrical signals called which are sent to our brain?
There are a few things that pass message from the ear to the brain. The most likely answer is the ear canal.
Part of your ear sends the message to your brain that you've heard a sound?
The cochlea
How does the message from sound waves get to your brain?
Sound waves enter the ear, go through the ear canal to the ear drum, through the middle ear to the inner ear where the sound wave (vibrations) reach a mechanism called a cochlea which converts the vibrations to electrical impulses. The electrical information is guided via nerve cells to the brain which interprets the electrical information as sounds.
Which part of the ear sends a message to the brain that is recognized as sound?
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.
What is the complete process of sound waves traveling through your ear?
The sound is concentrated by your outer ear to your external ear canal. It makes to vibrate your ear drum. Then the vibrations are amplified and transferred to the oval window. From there you have the vibrations transferred to round window. The fluid vibrates between the two windows. These vibrations are taken up by the hair cells from your inner ear and the message is sent to the brain for final analysis of the sound.

Which part of your ear sends the message to your brain that you've heard something?
Auditory Nerve
What part of the ear send the message to the brain?
The vestibulocochlear nerve, or 8th cranial nerve.
How does the message from sound waves get to your brain?
Sound waves enter the ear, go through the ear canal to the ear drum, through the middle ear to the inner ear where the sound wave (vibrations) reach a mechanism called a cochlea which converts the vibrations to electrical impulses. The electrical information is guided via nerve cells to the brain which interprets the electrical information as sounds.
What is a cochlea and what is its role?
The cochlea is the inner ear. It transforms sound into a message the nerves can carry to the brain.
How does the ear transmit sounds?
the waves hit the ear and it travels through the ear canal. Then the waves impacts the ear drum and the ear drum vibrates the hammer from the series of the three bones and then goes to the cochlea and gives the message to the nerves to deliver the message to the brain
Where are you think message come from and where are they sent?
the message comes from your mouth and when you hear it by your ear parts of your nerve cells that pick up messages or dendrites carries to the brain

Are Nerves in earlobe?
If you pinch it with your nails does it hurt? then yes there is nerve endings in that region of your body.
What carries message to the brain?
Mostly nerves, although the blood can carry "messages" such as hormones.
