What part of the ear vibrates when sound waves strike it?
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! :)
Which part of your ear do sound waves enter through?
Sound waves enter the ear through the outer ear, specifically through the ear canal. This canal funnels the sound waves towards the eardrum, which is located at the end of the canal in the middle ear.
Why the name ear drum?
The eardrum, or tympanic membrane, is a thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. It plays a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations from the air to the bones in the middle ear. The name "eardrum" comes from the fact that it looks similar to a drum skin and is essential for hearing.
What is the path sound travels through the ear to the auditory nerve?
The auditory system is essentially the entire pathway sound has to take. The peripheral auditory system takes the sound and translates it into the electrical processes that the brain can interpret. Then these signals get sent through the central auditory system.
How does the ear hear sound through a wall?
The fleshy part of ear, the pinna, collects the sound. The sound wave then travels through the auditory canal which funnels the sound to the ear drum causing it to vibrate. The ear drum then amplifies the sound by vibration of bones. It is in the middle ear where sound energy is converted into mechanical energy. The cochlea in the inner ear converts the vibrations into electrical impulses before sending signals to the brain. The brain then interprets the impulses as sound.
Did you hear about the guy who got hit in the head with a can of soda?
He was lucky it was a soft drink
How does the incus in the ear work?
The incus is one of the small bones in the middle ear. Sound waves hit the ear drum and together with the other bones it tends to transmit the vibrations from the ear drum to the cochlea to the brain so as to unable one to hear.
How does the stapes work in the ear?
The stapes is one of the small bones in the middle ear. Sound waves hit the ear drum and together with the other bones it tends to transmit the vibrations from the ear drum to the cochlea to the brain so as to unable one to hear.
Is Russell simmons deaf?
yes he got deaf from getting hit and know his ear drum out
How does the malleus in the ear work?
The malleus, incus, and stapes are a chain of small bones in the middle ear. Sound waves hit the ear drum and together with the other bones it tends to transmit the vibrations from the ear drum to the cochlea to the brain so as to unable one to hear.
Would you hear the impact of a car accident if you are on the phone with the person involved?
Yes you can hear it. I was on a phone with someone that got hit in a hit and run from the rear and could hear a boom sound.===========================You would hear it UNLESS the cell-phone was the point of first impact,which is very unlikely.
Why does your ear look like cauliflower ear but hasn't been hit and doesn't have any kind of mark on it?

Will your ear drums burst when you hit your ear?
Depends on how you hit your ear.Most of the time, nothing will happen. But if you hit your ear just "right", you might force air into the ear canal hard enough to pop the ear drum. Not something to experiment with.
What is the purpose of an eardrum?
Sound vibrations hit against it and then the waves are sent thru your ear, so that your brain can interpret the sounds. Without it, you wouldn't be able to hear!
What could be wrong if you fell and hit your head really hard now you have ringing in your ear on that side and can barely hear hear out of it also have a headache?

Why do dogs and cats move their ears. How does the shape of their ear help them to hear sounds?
dogs and cats move their ears to hear from where the sound id comming.the ears of cats and dogs are out so when the sound waves hit the outside of the ears it rebounds back into the ears.
