It's called the tympanic membrane, or eardrum.
The eardrum.

The ear bones, also known as the ear ossicles, are the smallest bones in the human body. There are three ear ossicles in each ear: malleus (hammer), incus (anvil) and stapes (stirrup). Stapes is the smallest bone in the human body.

What organ detects sound?
The ear drum. Then the ear drum pass the vibrations onto the hammer, stirrup, and anvil (the smallest bones in the human body in the inner ear), where nerves send electrical impulses called synapses to the brain. The brain processes the vibrations and sends you the sound the noise created.
Does your eardrum send the vibrations to the three smallest bones in your body?
Yes it does. The three bones - the Hammer, Anvil and Stirrup - are caused to vibrate due to them being connected to the eardrum, or Tympanic Membrane. These virations are then transferred through these bones to the Cochlea, a snail-shaped organ which has minute hairs within it. The hairs vibrate and the Cochlea then sends nerve signals to the brain which 'decodes' them. It is worth noting that these minute hairs are easily damaged by loud noises, and once damaged are irreparable. This is the main cause of tinnitus, hearing loss and deafness.
How does does your ear hear sound?
Your ear may be considered to have three major parts, the external ear, the middle ear, and the innerear.The external ear comprises the parts that are exposed to the outside air, up to the ear drum. Attached to the innerpart of the eardrum are three tiny bones (the smallest bones in your body - grain sized.), and these in turn connect to an oval window, which is one of the boundaries of the inner ear. The inner ear is a tapering tube, arranged compactly as a spiral, and with a membrane dividing the tube into two lengthwise. Arranged along this dividing membrane, are numerous sensory hairs, each connected to its hair cell, and these to our auditory nerves.The ear drum vibrates in response to a sound, and this moves the series of three middle ear bones. Their arrangement helps the ear to deal with the huge range of sounds we encounter. The third of these is the stapes, which in turn vibrates the oval window, and passes the sound wave (now a vibration) to the fluid-filled cochlea. The vibrations in the cochlea, in turn activate the many thousands of hair cells (grouped according to frequency), and these send an electrical signal to the brain for interpretation.[Mammals have a 3-bone middle ear, and a 1-bone jaw. Earlier species in evolution have a 2-bone middle ear, and a 2-bone jaw.] The middle ear is ventilated to the atmosphere via your Eustachian tube, and when this becomes blocked by an infection, (or by rapid change in altitude e.g. air travel), we experience pain due to the ear drum being pressurized.[Located in the general vicinity of your ear are your balance organs, but these are not part of the hearing process. Birds have a magnificent 3-axis set of balance tubes, land animals have a good set, and fish have rather inferior set of balance tubes. [It doesn't matter so much if a fish falls over!]]

How does the human ear hear?
1. The outer ear picks up the sound vibrations 2. These sound waves travel through the ear canal 3. The eardrum vibrates and make 3 tiny bones in the middle ear move 4. These bones send these vibrations to the shell-shaped structure called choqlea 5. The sound vibrations make the liquid in the cocheleq move making the hair move back and forth 6. The hair are joined to the nerves and send signals to your brain
How do you hear in detail?
Your Auricle (outer ear) funnels sound waves through the external auditory meatus (passage in your ear fromt he outter ear to the middle ear) to the tympanic membrane (ear drum.) Your tympanic membrane vibrates. These vibrations are sent through the maleus, incus, and stapes (the three smallest ear bones in your body and ear) to the cochlea (a shell like peice.) Fluid in the cochlea moves the vibrations past tiny hairs that send a message to the brain through the eighth cranial nerve. That is how you hear sound. in detail.
What happens after the eardrum and small bones in your ear vibrate?
Once the last bone (the stapes) vibrates, it hammers up and down at a space called the oval window in the cochlea of the inner ear. The cochlea is filled with a fluid, and the vibrations of the stapes send pressure waves through the fluid. There is a membrane in the cochlea that is bent back and forth in different places based on the intensity of the sound, and the bending of the membrane causes small hair-like stereocillia to bend and send an electrical impulse to the brain to be interpreted as sound.
Does the eardrum send messages to the inner ear?
Yes. Ear drum send messages to inner ear in the form of vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted through three small bones in the middle ear.
What part of the ear vibrates when sound waves strike it?
The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)
How does the eardrum work?
the ear drum is a part of your ear which vibrates to send the sound onto the three small bones.
How does sound travel through ears?
Sound is a wave that vibrates the eardrum (tympanic membrane) this vibration moves tiny bones (malleus, incus,stapes) that magnify and transmit the vibration to the oval window of the choclea. Inside the chochlea are tiny hair cells that when bent by the vibrations send an impulse to the brain.

What is the function of the bones in the ear?
The three auditory ossicles transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window.Malleus (also called hammer): one end is attached to ear drum while other is jointed to the incus.Incus (anvil): jointed with malleus and stapes.Stapes (stirrup): jointed to incus and attached to oval window .
Why can the human ear hear all sounds?
1. The outer ear picks up the sound vibrations 2. These sound waves travel through the ear canal 3. The eardrum vibrates and make 3 tiny bones in the middle ear move 4. These bones send these vibrations to the shell-shaped structure called choqlea 5. The sound vibrations make the liquid in the cocheleq move making the hair move back and forth 6. The hair are joined to the nerves and send signals to your brain
What happens when sound waves strike the eardrum?
Your eardrum will vibrate and transfer the sound vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear, which carry the vibrations to the cochlea of the inner ear, where they are transformed into nerve impulses.
Is the nose bone the smallest bone in you body?
No, the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear are the smallest bones of the body. Even though they are little, they amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window so that the sensory receptors in the inner ear can translate the sound to electrical energy and send it to the brain for interpretation.
