The eardrum (also known as the timpanic membrane) is a membrane that helps amplify sounds.
The cochlea is deeper inside the ear, behind the eardrum. It is like a tube with little tiny hairs that vibrate at different sound frequencies which transmit information to the brain to help us percieve sound at different tones and pitches.
What else can I help you with?
What part of the ear transmits the vibrations to the cochlea?
The eardrum
Does the cochlea keep both sides of the eardrum equal?
No. The cochlea transmit sound from the eardrum. The Eustachian tubes keep the pressure inside the ear equalized with the external pressure.
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.
Describe the location and function of the eardrum and the cochlea?
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is located at the end of the ear canal. It vibrates in response to sound waves and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear. The cochlea is a spiral-shaped structure located in the inner ear that converts these vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation as sound.
Which pathway sounds take when entering the ear?

How sound gets to the eardrum?
Sounds entering the ear canal through the air as sound pressure variations come to the eardrum and are send to the cochlea of the inner ear.
Does a burst ear drum hurt?
A burst eardrum is when the thin flap of skin in your ear leading towards your cochlea vibrates too much and tears, this causes the liquid from your cochlea to flow out of your ear, this can be very painful and lead to not being able to work out which way up you are as the liquid inside your cochlea tells you what way up you are by settling.

What job does the eardrum?
The eardrum sends sounds entering the ear canal through the air as sound pressure variations to the cochlea of the inner ear. By Lilly Rogers xxx
Is the part of the ear that is set into vibration by vibrating air molecules the cochlea?
The eardrum is the first thing that vibrates in response to vibrating air or "sound". The cochlea is the last step in the process, and instead of vibrating it is filled with fluid that moves in response to vibration on a small window on the side. This moves the cochlear fluid and then is transferred to the brain through small hairs inside the organ. Three tiny bones (Malleus, Incus, and Stapes) transfer the vibration from the eardrum to the cochlea.
Are the ossicles located in the inner ear responsible for transmitting sound vibrations to the cochlea?
Yes, the ossicles located in the middle ear are responsible for transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea in the inner ear.
The part of the ear that transfers sound vibrations to the cochlea is the?
Tympanic membrane --> malleus --> incus --> stapes --> oval window --> cochlea
How can we hear a sound wave?
Sound waves travel into the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones or ossicles into the inner ear. The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is also called the cochlea. Inside the cochlea, there are thousands of tiny hair cells.Thankyou.
