How we hear sounds?

By ear because sound keep on vibrating until it reaches our ear


How are sound localization and time related?

Sound localization depends on the time delay between when a sound reaches each ear. By comparing the slight differences in arrival time, the brain can determine the direction from which the sound originated. This time difference, known as interaural time difference, is a crucial factor in our ability to locate sounds in space.


What part of the ear make the sound that reaches the middle ear louder?

the three tiny bones in the middle ear


How do ear defenders work using a model of energy transfer?

Ear defenders work by absorbing sound energy before it reaches the ear. The material of the ear defender converts the sound energy into small amounts of heat or mechanical vibration, thus reducing the intensity of the sound that reaches the ear. This process helps to protect the sensitive structures of the ear from damage due to exposure to high noise levels.


What Property of sound depends on the amount of energy a sound wave has as it reaches our ears?

I don't understand your questions. I know that our ear drums and the microphone diaphragms are moved directly by the sound pressure p, that is a sound field quantity. Forget the sound energy quantities when you talk about ears.


How does music from your iPod reaches to your ear?

The sound that comes from headphones are electronic pulses sent through the wire and reach your ear drum, which is vibrated and transformed into the sound that you hear.


What organ helps us hear sound?

The ear is the organ responsible for detecting and transmitting sound waves to the brain for processing. It consists of three main parts: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. Sound enters the ear through the outer ear, passes through the middle ear where it is amplified, and finally reaches the inner ear where it is converted into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.


What is external pinna?

The external pinna, also known as the auricle, is the visible part of the ear that directs sound waves into the ear canal. It plays a role in collecting and amplifying sound before it reaches the middle and inner ear.


What would happen to sound if you held a megaphone to your ear and why?

Holding a megaphone to your ear would amplify the sound that reaches your ear. This can potentially damage your hearing due to the increased intensity of the sound waves. It's important to be cautious with loud noises to prevent hearing loss.


What parts in the ear assist in the ability to hear a sound wave from the time the sound enters the ear until it reaches the brain?

The auditory canal to the eardrum then the auditory nerve sends it to the brain for interpretation.


What sequence of events occurs when you hear a sound?

When a sound reaches your ear, the sound waves travel through the ear canal to the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals by hair cells. The auditory nerve carries these signals to the brain, which processes and interprets them as sound.


Does sound reaches our ears due to change in air pressure?

Yes, sound reaches our ears due to vibrations in the air, which cause changes in air pressure. These pressure changes are detected by the ear and converted into signals that our brain interprets as sound.
