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 ear vibrates when you hear sound?

Then the oval and round windows also vibrate. Then the hair cells in the inner ear also vibrate. The fluid that is present in the cochlea also vibrates.
Coiled structure located in the inner ear is known as?
Cochlea
WHAT THE FUNCTION OF THE MIDDLE EAR?
The tympanic membrane in the middle ear transforming sound waves into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations stimulate the inner ear.
Is the ear drum located in the outer ear or the inner ear?
It is just between your external ear and your middle ear.

What is between the cochlea and the ossicles?
The last of the ossicles of the middle ear is the stapes. It delivers the sound vibrations to the oval window separating the air environment of the middle ear from the fluid environment of the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, vestibule and semicircular canal.

What are the functions of the three main parts of the human ear?
The three main parts of the ear are the outer ear, middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear's function is to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear. The middle ear's function is to protect the inner ear from damaging sounds. In the inner ear, sound waves are converted into nerve impulses which are transmitted to the brain to be interpreted. The inner ear also serves as the main organ of balance for the body.
