The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)
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.
When a sound is made outside the outer ear, the sound waves, or vibrations, travel down the external auditory canal and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum vibrates. The vibrations are then passed to 3 tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. The ossicles amplify the sound.
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) vibrates in response to sound waves entering the ear canal. These vibrations are then transmitted to the small bones in the middle ear, which in turn amplify and transmit the sound to the inner ear for further processing.
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is a thin membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves. These vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation as sound.
The auricle or pinna of the outer ear acts like a horn to capture the sound waves which are then tunneled into the auditory canal and strike the tympanic membrane (eardrum).
The eardrum
We just learned about this in science class. Air vibrates throughout the tube part and out the bell to produce sound waves.
In a stringed musical instrument, the part that vibrates in resonance with the sound waves produced by the strings is called the soundboard or the resonating body. This part amplifies and projects the sound created by the vibrating strings to produce audible music.
In a radio, it is the speaker that vibrates to create sound. The electrical signals from the radio's circuitry are converted into physical vibrations by the speaker's diaphragm, producing audible sound waves.
the string, and the waves go into the body and reverberate around, and come out the f holes and make the sound.

The membrane of tabla vibrates to produce a sound.
Musical instruments have some part that vibrates at a regular frequency. This vibrating part makes the air around it vibrate and these vibrations make the sound waves. The part that vibrates is often a string or a reed or a drum-head or in the case of horns, the player's lips. The vibrations are amplified by a column of air or a sounding board or something else that resonates at the frequency produced by the original vibration.
The cone of a speaker is what vibrates to make sound. In some hard speakers with a rigid cone-shaped horn, a flexible diaphragm vibrates. Withut the vibration, you get no sound.
