What happens to an ear when sound waves travel through it?
Sound travels into the ear where it goes into the ear drum which looks similar to a snail shell which has many many tiny hairs attached to it. When the sound waves hit the hairs, the hairs begin to vibrate according to the frequency of the sound waves. Certain hairs register certain frequencies and sends signals to the brain which registers those vibrations as sound.
What fluid filled passes sound vibrations to tiny hairs attached to nerves?

What happens when sound travels?
Sound travels by creating vibrations in the air. (Or in the water if the source and/or the reciever are under water.) These vibrations in the air are sound.
Changing electrical vibrations into sound vibrations?
the cochlea convents vibrations into electrical sound
What is the difference in vibrations between high sounds and low sounds?
if Sex happens in low sound then vibration is les if it happens with high sound vibe is more..:)
How does your hearing work?
Sound vibrates the inner ear to stimulate hairs in the cochlear.

How the sound travels inside the ear?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
What is the function of organ of corti?
the organ of corti is found inside the cochlea in the middle ear. in the organ of corti are hair cells which pick up vibrations. these vibrations are what is processed by the brain as sound. so basically without it no vibrations and hence the brain will not be able to interpret the vibrations into sounds

What happens to a noise if there is no air?
All noise I is vibrations in the air, and your ears feel these vibrations and translate them into sound. So no air = no sound
What is an ear anvil?
The Anvil is one of 3 tiny bones in the ear connecting the Ear drum (Tympanic membrane) to the cochlear. like the other 2 bones its function is to transfer sound movements of the Ear drum to be transmitted to the cochlear so that the hairs within the cochlear can sense sound. It's how we hear! The other 2 bones are called "Stirrup" and "Hammer"
Why can your ear hear sound?
Because my eardrums are sensitive to the oscillations in the molecules in the air and pass on the vibrations to the inner ear where tiny hairs in fluid, attached to nerves, convert the vibrations into electrical signals which my brain can then interpret as sound.
What happens to energy in sound waves when a sound in the room fades out?
The vibrations in the air (sound) get absorbed by the walls.
What happens when sound reaches the nerves of the ear?
Sound doesn't actually affect the nerves. Sound makes the eardrum, ear bones and the fluid in the cochlea vibrate. The vibrations in the fluid make tiny hairs on the walls move, and these cause the nerves to generate electric signals which are transmitted to the brain.
What is the receptor for sound waves in the middle ear?
The middle ear does not really deal with the sound it just passes it though. The receptors are in the INNER ear. They are cells in the walls of the cochlea attached to minute hairs floating in the cochlear liquid.
