Large amplitude - low power vibrations in air move the ear drums.

They are connected to the ossicles( malleus, incus, and stapes),

bones of the middle ear which change the vibrations into low amplitude - high power vibrations

which are transmitted through the skull to the fluid of the inner ear.

Those (fluid) vibrations are what you can detect as sound.
