How does the movement of fluids help organisms to hear?
In the ear structure there are hollow channels in the inner ear which contain fluid. The outer ear receives pressurised sound waves from the external environment, they are carried to the inner ear and causing ripples in the fluid, tiny hair cells detect this and carry the signal to the brain via the auditory nerve. This is then interpreted by the brain and the sound is "heard" by the organism.

You don't hear anything. They don't actually have to get there through the outer ear. If your ear is plugged, or if your 'tympanum' (ear drum) is broken, the vibrations can conduct through the bone that you feel behind your ear. But they do have to get to the inner ear somehow. If vibrations don't reach the cochlea in the inner ear, then you don't hear anything.
