Temporal Lobe
Understanding :D
The function of the ear is it allows you to hear. It brings sound waves to the brain and interprets it into words.
The Auditory Cortex
Sound waves are converted to mechanical vibrations within the middle ear with the impact of the cilia on the fluid chambers acting as conductive membranes. The brain then interprets this as specific sounds.
Though there are a few things in the "chain" of action as regards hearing, the vibration of the eardrum in response to incoming sound waves is a must. We'd have to say yes in answer to your question. The eardrum is the first stage in the translation of the mechanical energy of sound into nerve impulses that our brain receives and interprets as sound.
Brain
Understanding :D
Yes and no. The brain interprets signals from the ears as whatever sound they represent.
the brain cells
Visual cortex
cerebrum
The sensory association area.
the parietal lobe
Vibrations in a medium which travel as longitudinal waves ultimately reaching your ear where the brain interprets different frequencies as sound.
The function of the ear is it allows you to hear. It brings sound waves to the brain and interprets it into words.
Temporal lobe,is the part of the brain which interprets and processes auditory, or hearing.
