Sound waves cause vibrations in the air, which in turn cause vibrations in the eardrum. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the cochlea in the inner ear. Within the cochlea, specialized hair cells convert these vibrations into electrical signals that travel along the auditory nerve to the brain for processing.
