- sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate.
- VIBRATIONS pass through 3 connected bones in the middle ear
- This motion SETS FLUID MOVING in the inner ear.
- Moving fluid bends thousands of delicate hair-like cells which convert the vibrations into NERVE IMPULSES.
- Nerve impulses are CARRIED to the brain by the auditory nerve
- In the brain, these impulses are CONVERTED into what we "hear" as sound.

Images do not travel that path, and we are all totally blind in the ears.

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 transmits sound from the inner ear to the brain?
Nerves in the ear respond to the mechanical stress of soundwaves and transmit the stress/sound accoundingly (super simplified answer)
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.
What is the name of the nerve that carries messages from the ear to the brain?
The cochlea structure consists of three adjacent tubes separated from each other by sensitive membranes.These tubes are coiled in the shape of a snail shell and filled with fluid. Its' job is to take the physical vibrations caused by the sound wave and translate them into electrical information the brain can recognize as distinct sound.
Where is auditory receptors located?
Auditory receptors are located in internal ears. The vestibulocochlear nerve carries the signal from internal ear to brain.
Which nerves carry sound impulses from the inner ear of the brain?
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
What auditory nerve is responsible for?
The auditory nerve is responsible for relaying vibrations from the cochlea, in the inner ear, to the brain as electrical impulses. The auditory centre of the brain then interprets these as sound.
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 transmits sound waves to the inner ear making waves in the fluid in the cochlea?
The ossicles amplify the sound. They send the sound waves to the inner ear and into the fluid-filled hearing organ (cochlea). ... The auditory nerve sends these impulses to the brain. The brain then translates these electrical impulses as sound.
How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
What carry the impulses from the ear to the brain?
nerves

What part of your ear carries signals to the brain?
the inner ear
What organ detects sound?
The ear drum. Then the ear drum pass the vibrations onto the hammer, stirrup, and anvil (the smallest bones in the human body in the inner ear), where nerves send electrical impulses called synapses to the brain. The brain processes the vibrations and sends you the sound the noise created.
Where in the ear in sound changed into signals that are sent to the brain?
The inner ear is responsible for converting sound waves into neural impulses that are sent to the brain.
How sound travels from your vocal cords to your friends ear when you talk?
When you speak, your friend's ear gathers compressional waves, which are sound waves. Then, the ear amplifies the waves, converting them to nerve impulses that travel to the brain. And then, the brain decodes and interprets the nerve impulses.
What part of the ear changes the sound into electrical impulses?
the cilia inside the cochlea
