Sound waves 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.

When sound is created it travels to the ear through a what?

Sound travels to the ear through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, causing the particles in the medium to vibrate. These vibrations are then detected by the ear and converted into electrical signals that are interpreted by the brain as sound.

How does sound travel to your ear?

Sound travels to your ear as air particles vibrate when sound waves are created. These vibrations enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. The vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.

What type of energy travels through your ears?

Sound energy travels through your ears. Sound waves are transferred through the air and enter the ear canal, where they vibrate the eardrum and are processed by the inner ear to be interpreted by the brain as sound.

How sound travels through air and objects to the ear?

Sound travels through air as a series of compressions and rarefactions of air particles. When a sound wave encounters an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the material. The ear receives these sound waves, which cause the eardrum to vibrate, transmitting the sound signals to the brain for interpretation.


How does sound enter your ear without bouncing away?

Sound enters the outer ear and travels down the ear canal, where it causes the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The shape of the ear and the presence of hair and earwax help to prevent sound from bouncing away.


What cause humans to hear sound?

Sound travels through the air - causing the ear-drum to vibrate. This sends impulses to teh brain which is interpreted as sound.
