Sound waves travel through the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear before they reach the brain. In the outer ear, sound waves are collected by the ear canal and directed to the eardrum. Then, in the middle ear, the sound waves cause the three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) to vibrate. Finally, in the inner ear, the vibrations are transformed into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
Outer ear, middle ear and inner ear
The ear has three chambers: outer, middle and inner ears.Outer ear: pinna/auricle, auditory canal, tympanic membraneMiddle ear: tympanic membrane, ossicles, oval window and auditory tubeInner ear: oval window, cochlea, vestibule, semicircular canals & auditory nerveSound waves travel into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane.The tympanic membrane vibrates.Sound vibrations are amplified and transmitted by the ossicles to the oval window.Vibrations are transferred to fluid environment of the inner ear, converted into electrical energy and sent to the brain for interpretation.

Sound waves travel into the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones or ossicles into the inner ear. The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is also called the cochlea. Inside the cochlea, there are thousands of tiny hair cells.Thankyou.
The outer ear directs sound vibrations through the auditory canal to the eardrum, which is stretched across the end of the auditory canal and which transmits sound vibrations to the middle ear. There a chain of three tiny bones conducts the vibrations to the inner ear. Fluid inside the cochlea of the inner ear stimulates sensory hairs; these in turn initiate the nerve impulses that travel along the auditory nerve to the brain.

While S waves (shear waves) can travel through earth's solid inner core, they cannot travel through earth's liquid outer core, which surrounds the inner core.So, unless the S waves originated inside the inner core (which seems unlikely) there are no S waves traveling through earth's inner core.

The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is also called the cochlea. Inside the cochlea, there are thousands of tiny hair cells. Hair cells change the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain through the hearing nerve. The brain tells you that you are hearing a sound and what that sound is.
How the Ear Works The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle and inner ear. The outer ear (the part you can see) opens into the ear canal. The eardrum separates the ear canal from the middle ear. Small bones in the middle ear help transfer sound to the inner ear. The inner ear contains the auditory (hearing) nerve, which leads to the brain. Any source of sound sends vibrations or sound waves into the air. These funnel through the ear opening, down the ear, canal, and strike your eardrum, causing it to vibrate. The vibrations are passed to the small bones of the middle ear, which transmit them to the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Here, the vibrations become nerve impulses and go directly to the brain, which interprets the impulses as sound (music, voice, a car horn, etc.). www.entnet.org/healthinfo/ears/ear.cfm
The last of the ossicles of the middle ear is the stapes. It delivers the sound vibrations to the oval window separating the air environment of the middle ear from the fluid environment of the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, vestibule and semicircular canal.
Yes, however s waves can't; they can only travel through solids, therefore they cannot travel through the outer core, which is liquid.
