The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.

What is the function of the cochlea?
houses the spiral organ of corti which is the receptor organ for hearing.it sends electrial impulses to the brain
How does the message from sound waves get to your brain?
Sound waves enter the ear, go through the ear canal to the ear drum, through the middle ear to the inner ear where the sound wave (vibrations) reach a mechanism called a cochlea which converts the vibrations to electrical impulses. The electrical information is guided via nerve cells to the brain which interprets the electrical information as sounds.
The brain's willingness to recognize and to respond to a sound is called?

The auditory canal to the eardrum then the auditory nerve sends it to the brain for interpretation.
