Sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses in the inner ear. The vibrations are detected by hair cells in the cochlea, which then stimulate the auditory nerve to send signals to the brain for processing and interpretation of sound.
Cochlea
In the ear, sound vibrations are converted into nerve impulses in the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ that contains hair cells. These hair cells respond to the vibrations by sending electrical signals through the auditory nerve to the brain, where they are perceived as sound.
The cochlea in the inner ear contains receptors called hair cells that convert sound vibrations into electrical impulses. These impulses are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are interpreted as sound.
What_is_the_path_that_sound_takes_through_the_earwaves 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.
The auditory nerve is responsible for relaying vibrations from the cochlea, in the inner ear, to the brain as electrical impulses. The auditory centre of the brain then interprets these as sound.

Impulses in the ear are transmitted by hair cells located in the cochlea. These hair cells convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
