The major steps involved in hearing sounds with our ears include:

  1. Sound Wave Collection: Sound waves enter the outer ear (pinna) and travel through the ear canal.
  2. Vibration Transfer: These waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, which in turn moves the tiny bones in the middle ear (ossicles).
  3. Signal Transduction: The movement of the ossicles amplifies the vibrations and sends them to the cochlea in the inner ear, where hair cells convert them into electrical signals.
  4. Brain Processing: These electrical signals are transmitted via the auditory nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.

For a diagram, you would typically label the outer ear, ear canal, eardrum, ossicles, cochlea, and auditory nerve.
