Your ear may be considered to have three major parts, the external ear, the middle ear, and the innerear.
The external ear comprises the parts that are exposed to the outside air, up to the ear drum. Attached to the innerpart of the eardrum are three tiny bones (the smallest bones in your body - grain sized.), and these in turn connect to an oval window, which is one of the boundaries of the inner ear. The inner ear is a tapering tube, arranged compactly as a spiral, and with a membrane dividing the tube into two lengthwise. Arranged along this dividing membrane, are numerous sensory hairs, each connected to its hair cell, and these to our auditory nerves.
The ear drum vibrates in response to a sound, and this moves the series of three middle ear bones. Their arrangement helps the ear to deal with the huge range of sounds we encounter. The third of these is the stapes, which in turn vibrates the oval window, and passes the sound wave (now a vibration) to the fluid-filled cochlea. The vibrations in the cochlea, in turn activate the many thousands of hair cells (grouped according to frequency), and these send an electrical signal to the brain for interpretation.
[Mammals have a 3-bone middle ear, and a 1-bone jaw. Earlier species in evolution have a 2-bone middle ear, and a 2-bone jaw.] The middle ear is ventilated to the atmosphere via your Eustachian tube, and when this becomes blocked by an infection, (or by rapid change in altitude e.g. air travel), we experience pain due to the ear drum being pressurized.
[Located in the general vicinity of your ear are your balance organs, but these are not part of the hearing process. Birds have a magnificent 3-axis set of balance tubes, land animals have a good set, and fish have rather inferior set of balance tubes. [It doesn't matter so much if a fish falls over!]]

Some, but not all, native Americans and pioneer scouts put their ears to the ground. Sound is carried easier through solids than through the gas in the air. They are able to hear things like galloping horses in the distance like that.
Sound vibrations hit the eardrum and consequently produce vibrations in the ear-drum, thence the ossicles (tiny bone levers) in the middle-ear that transmit the vibrations onwards to the cochlea. The cochlea is the transducer, containing fluid that oscillates in the organ in reponse to the imposed vibrations. In turn the fluid's movement excites thousands of minute hair-cells linked to the auditory-nerve bundle that sends the resulting electrical impulses to the brain for processing.
cant hear out of one ear cant swim
Yes. Sound is produced by vibrating matter, such as a string or arts of the inner ear, so it cannot travel if there is no matter to vibrate.
when you hear things, its really sound waves. the sound waves enter your ear, then it vibrates the ear drum.
with your ear
It is to hear sound
The ear closest to the sound source hears it first. IF you always hear it "first" on your right, then you should have your hearing checked.
Because of your ear lobe you can hear the sound of low amplitude.
no because sound is thecnacly the vibrations in your ear so no ear no sound
it creates gaps in the air and then goes to your ear
The ear
yes you do
Sound Waves are collected by the out ear and channeldeed along the Ear canal to the ear drum,
Ears, a brain, components in the ear (ear drum, ear canals etc.)
gathers sound waves.
