Your jaw bones. Then up through the anvils and stirrups to your eardrums.

All sounds are produced by?
Vibrating 'air' particles, through a transfer of energy; creating a sound wave which then reaches your ears and vibrates your ear drum. (doesn't have to be air, sound also travels through water ect)
How does sound travel from instruments to your ears?
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
Sound is a messure in what unit?
sound is measured in decibles
How can you hear a person through a closed door?
a phone ring can be heard across a shut door because there is always some space through the door from where the sound travels and reaches to our ears.
How can you record infrasound?
The same way you record normal sound. infra sound is the same as normal sound but our ears cannot hear it. a microphone would.
If you cover your ears and hum what is the sound travelling through brain?
Undetectable - the sound you hear travels through the bones of your skull to the inner ear - where all sound is detected.
Is traveling of sound to our ears an example of diffusion?
sound is travelling in a solid example metal rock stone
Why can't you hear clearly underwater?
Sound waves accessible by humans are attenuated in water.
Why don't you hurt your own ears when you yell?
The sound you make when you yell travels out of the mouth, away from the body. It is therefore travelling away from your ears.
How can sound levels be tested?
you record it through your ears. :)
What sre sound waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal vibrations through matter that ears can pick up as sound.
If you put your hands on your ears and hum what does the sound travel through?
bone
Does sound go through your ears?
Yes, sound is recognized by the brain through your ears. When you hear a sound, it enters the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum causes small bones to vibrate, which causes tiny hairs to send signals to the brain.
What must sound wave travel on to reach your ears?
sound waves travel through the air particles
Why do you close a door to keep the sound out?
The door is a solid object and therefore it atoms are held together very tightly so they cannot move easily. The air surrounding the door is made up of large molecules and atoms that move freely as a gas. The speed of sound travelling through solid is greater than it does through air. The key word here is THROUGH. In our situation the sound is passing FROM air TO the door and THEN to air again. As sound is a wave it reflects and refracts much like light does at boundaries between different medium. As the sound wave hits the solid door some of the energy is reflected back and some is absorbed through the door. This energy is still travelling as a sound through the door, as it hit the next surface (air again, as it leaves the door surface) air, the sound is scattered once more before reaching our ears. So the energy of the sound wave we started with has reduced greatly which our ears resolve as a lower volume.
Can you collect sound?
yes through your ears...but any other way is not possible
Do floppy ears affect the hearing of bunnies?
Yes, lop ears affect a rabbit's ears compared to a radar-eared rabbit. Lop-eared rabbits are prone to deafness and hard of hearing due to the muffling of sound waves through their ears. Imagine covering your ears and hearing the world through them. Radar-eared rabbits can easily swivel their ears to capture the most sound without obstruction.
