The microphone has a diaphragm that is moved by the sound pressure of the sound waves. This sound pressure, measured in pascals, is converted by the microphone to the electric audio wave. Our auditory system has two ear drums that are similar to the microphone's diaphragm that delivers the sound wave to the inner ear. Only sound pressure (pascals) is moving the ear drums. Sound intensity (power) has nothing to do with this.

The diagram in a microphone is just like the eardrum in the ear they both vibrate. Also they both take in waves and send electrical signals. The ears send electrical signals to the brain and the michrophone sends it to the loudspeaker
