The Auditory Nerve does this.
The auditory nerve
The auditory nerve carries auditory impulses to the brain.
In the inner ear, "sound" is translated into electrical energy. This electrical energy is transmitted to the brain via the 8th cranial nerve more commonly called the auditory, acoustic or vestibulocochlear nerve. The brain receives the information and translates it into what we "hear", or at least into what is most important for us to hear at that time.
sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate.VIBRATIONS pass through 3 connected bones in the middle earThis motion SETS FLUID MOVING in the inner ear.Moving fluid bends thousands of delicate hair-like cells which convert the vibrations into NERVE IMPULSES.Nerve impulses are CARRIED to the brain by the auditory nerveIn the brain, these impulses are CONVERTED into what we "hear" as sound.
Nerves in the ear respond to the mechanical stress of soundwaves and transmit the stress/sound accoundingly (super simplified answer)
Auditory receptors are located in internal ears. The vestibulocochlear nerve carries the signal from internal ear to brain.
The cochlea structure consists of three adjacent tubes separated from each other by sensitive membranes.These tubes are coiled in the shape of a snail shell and filled with fluid. Its' job is to take the physical vibrations caused by the sound wave and translate them into electrical information the brain can recognize as distinct sound.
