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.
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
No, the funnel for sound waves in the ear is actually the outer ear. The outer ear acts like a funnel, directing sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves.
The ear does not produce (make) sound.
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
when you hear things, its really sound waves. the sound waves enter your ear, then it vibrates the ear drum.
The outer ear, specifically the ear canal and the eardrum (tympanic membrane), traps and funnels sound waves towards the middle ear for processing.
The pinna (external ear) collects the sound and channels the sound into the ear canal.
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.
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.
