Because our eardrums are moved by sound pressure variations we use the sound pressure with the unit pascal Pa = N/m².

The vibrations are interpreted by the brain through experience and learning.

Do sound waves get bigger when they enter the ear?

Sound waves do not physically get bigger when they enter the ear. The ear converts the varying pressure of sound waves into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. The perception of loudness can change based on how many sound waves reach the ear and how sensitive the ear is to them.


What is the purpose of the middle ear in interpreting sound?

The purpose of the middle ear is to amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the outer ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
