What else can I help you with?
Who discovered you hear with your ears?
you actuallydont hear with your ears sound waves go into your ear which vibrate your eardrum and somehow sends the message to your brain that there is sound in the air.
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 type of energy is used for hearing?
Sound energy is used for hearing. Sound waves travel through the air and vibrate the eardrum, which sends signals to the brain that are interpreted as sound.
How do you hear sound?
Sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals by hair cells. These signals travel along the auditory nerve to the brain, which then processes them as sound.
Which part of the ear sends a message to the brain that is recognized as sound?
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.
Do You hear sound when your ear drum vibrates?
Yes, sound waves are collected by the outer ear and travel through the ear canal to the eardrum. When the eardrum vibrates in response to these sound waves, it sends these vibrations to the middle ear and then to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are processed by the brain as sound.
How does sound travel from a loud speaker to your ear?
Sound leaves the speaker in the form of a wave, through the air, and enters your year, where the eardrum picks up the vibrations of the wave and sends a signal to your brain which interprets the vibrations as sound.
What is the actual site of hearing?
The eardrum vibrates the sound. The sound is carried to the cochlea where little "hairs" bend and the sound is then carried to the auditory nerve to the brain. There are other bones and things that are part of the hearing mechanism but I have described how the ear takes in sound and sends it to the brain in the simplest terms possible.
What takes sound waves from the inner ear to the brain?
Sound travels in waves. Our ears pick up these waves and funnel them to the eardrum. The eardrum interprets them as vibrations. These vibrations pass through the eardrum, into the inner ear via the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones. This causes fluid in the inner ear to bend tiny hairs which convert the vibrations into nerve impulses. The auditory nerve then sends the signals to the brain, which converts them again into the sound of what is heard.
When you hear sound which vibrates first. Your eardrum or the fluid in the cochlea?
The sound waves first vibrate the eardrum, which then transmits the vibrations to the fluid in the cochlea. The fluid in the cochlea contains sensory hair cells that convert the vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.
What sends a message to the central nerous system in your body?
Sensory receptors throughout the body detect stimuli such as touch, pain, temperature, and sound. These receptors then send signals along sensory neurons to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) for processing and response.
Part of your ear sends the message to your brain that you've heard a sound?
The cochlea
