It doesn't process anything,
it is a part of a system (eardrum, 3 bones of the middle ear, and a thin part of your skull) that converts vibrations in the air into vibrations in the fluids of your inner ear.
Those you can hear.
Well in your eardrum there is a speaker
The function of the eardrum is to transmit sound and amplify vibration.
Sonic (sound) energy is related to your eardrum.
Both the eardrum and a musical drum vibrate when struck, producing sound. The eardrum converts sound waves into vibrations that are transmitted to the inner ear, where they are interpreted as sound. Similarly, a musical drum produces sound when its surface is struck, causing vibrations that create sound waves.
any noise over 120 db can burst your eardrum
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
The auditory canal allows sound to get to the eardrum.
Because how the way it vibrates your eardrum.
Vibration from sound waves
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, plays a crucial role in the process of hearing. It vibrates in response to sound waves entering the ear canal, which then transmits these vibrations to the middle ear. This vibration is essential for converting sound waves into signals that can be interpreted by the brain, allowing us to perceive and understand sounds.
The eardrum, or tympanic membrane as scientist's would call it, receives sound in the form of sound pressure waves measured in pascals. It's a lot like some one beating on drums with drum sticks, hence the nick name, 'eardrums'. This is why louder sounds with more sound pressure tend to hurt your ears, like beating harder on the drums.
Sound energy causes the eardrum to vibrate. Sound waves travel through the air and when they reach the eardrum, the vibrations are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.
