The tympanic membrane commonly called the ear drum. This membrane is stretched taut across the ear canal and detects tiny pressure deviations that are processed by the brain as sound.

What part of the inner ear is responsible for hearing?
Cochlea is the part of inner ear, which detects sound waves.
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.
What is the coiled portion of the inner ear that contains the organ of the hearing?
cochlea
The purpose of the inner ear is to amplify sound?
this was false
Which structure is between the middle ear and the inner ear?
Sound waves hit the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves. These sound vibrations are amplified and transmitted by the auditory ossicles of the middle ear to the inner ear where they are changed into electrical energy and sent to the brain for interpretation.
What part of the inner ear is responsible for hearing?
Cochlea is the part of inner ear, which detects sound waves.
What is the inner ear of the inner ear?
it is for balance and sound

Which part of the body is concerned with balance?
The inner ear portion.
What is the function of the inner ear?
it is for balance and sound
The middle ear is what?
is responsible for transmitting sound waves from the outer ear to the inner ear
What is the function of the eardrum inner ear and outer ear?
to transmit sound entering the outer ear to the bones of the middle ear
What is the coiled portion of the inner ear that contains the organ of the hearing?
cochlea
What are the sensory receptors for the the ear?
The inner ear is made up of multiple parts to amplify sound and to determine sound frequencies. The Cochlea is a spiral shaped portion of the inner ear which contains tiny "hair cells" which are the actual sensory receptors. Repeated loud noises can actually damage or destroy these hair cells causing permanent hearing loss.The ear also is used for balance, using a portion of the ear called the vestibule or vestibular system. This also has hair cells for sensory receptors that are triggered by motion.
Sound is interpreted in the what part of the ear?
The Cochlea, but techinically it's the inner ear.
The purpose of the inner ear is to amplify sound?
this was false
What is the purpose of the outer ear?
The outer ear helps sound to travel to the inner ear. It is responsible for collecting sound waves and directing them to the middle ear via the auditory canal.
