In which part of the ear receives the vibrations in the air?
The eardrum receives the vibrations of the air.
How do sound vibrations carried from the ear to the nerve cells?
Sound waves enter through the outer ear, then sound waves move through the ear canal. Next sound waves strike the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, then vibrations enter the middle ear. Then the hammer picks up the vibrations, then vibrations are passed to the anvil. Next the vibrations are transmitted to the stirrup, then a vibrating membrane transmits vibrations to the inner ear, and then vibrations are channeled into the cochlea. Then nerve cells detect vibrations and convert them to electrical impulses, then electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain. Then the brain interprets electrical impulses as sound.
Trace the path of sound waves as they enter the ear Start with the outer ear?

What system is the eardrum part of?
The eardrum is part of the auditory system which is responsible for hearing. It is a membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear and plays a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear.
What transfers vibrations to the inner ear?
No. Vibrations are changed into signals by the "hairs" (a part of nerve cells, not real hair) in the inner ear. The function of the bones of the middle ear is to change the low pressure, high amplitude sound waves into high pressure, low amplitude waves - for the inner ear to process.
In which part of the ear receives the vibrations in the air?
The eardrum receives the vibrations of the air.
What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is the part of the ear that converts sound waves into vibrations. When sound waves reach the eardrum, it vibrates and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear.
How does sound travel to your ear?
Sound travels to your ear as air particles vibrate when sound waves are created. These vibrations enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
What part of the ear transmits the vibrations to the cochlea?
The eardrum
What structure picks up sound vibrations?
The malleus is the first of the three auditory ossicles (little bones) of the middle ear. The next on in line is the incus (anvil).tympanic side = malleus or hammermiddle = incus or anviloval window side = stapes or stirrup

What the ear does?
The ear receives vibrations or sound waves in the air through the ear's opening and down the ear canal. These vibrations strike the eardrum, which then makes vibrations. These vibrations are passed to three bones in the middle ear and into the cochlea, which then translates the vibrations into sound.
How a bat hear?
Bats hear with their ears and echolocation; it picks up vibrations and then waits for them to come back to the ear. See the related question below.
What part of the ear where vibrations make nerves send messages to the brain?
Eardrum
How does your eardrum process sound?
It doesn't process anything, it is a part of a system (eardrum, 3 bones of the middle ear, and a thin part of your skull) that converts vibrations in the air into vibrations in the fluids of your inner ear. Those you can hear.

How does sound travel from a loud speaker to your ear?
Sound leaves the speaker in the form of a wave, through the air, and enters your year, where the eardrum picks up the vibrations of the wave and sends a signal to your brain which interprets the vibrations as sound.
