The brain processes auditory information sent from the ears, interpreting sounds and enabling us to understand and respond to them. It also helps us focus on specific sounds or filter out background noise. In turn, the brain can influence how we perceive and react to auditory stimuli.

What part of the ear picks up the messages and transmit to the brain?
The 8th cranial nerve sends messages to the brain from the ear. There are several parts involved: In the inner ear are receptor cells that receive vibrations of sound and noise from the outside, which then stimulate the cochlear nerve to send these sounds to the brain for interpretation.Head movements also affect the fluid inside the ear and stimulate the vestibular nerve to send information to the brain regarding the body's sense of balance or position.
What part of your ear carries signals to the brain?
the inner ear
What three kinds of body parts do sound waves travel through before they reach the brain?
Sound waves travel through the outer ear, then the middle ear, before reaching the inner ear where they are converted into electrical signals that travel to the brain through the auditory nerve.
What works with the brain to interpret sound waves which are converted to nerve signals?
The auditory system, which includes the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear, works in conjunction with the brain to interpret sound waves. Sound waves are captured by the outer ear and funneled through the ear canal to the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. These vibrations are transmitted through the ossicles in the middle ear to the cochlea in the inner ear, where they are converted into nerve signals. These signals are then sent to the auditory cortex in the brain, where they are processed and interpreted as sound.
What three general kinds of body parts do sound waves travel through before they reach the brain?
Sound waves travel through the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear before they reach the brain. In the outer ear, sound waves are collected by the ear canal and directed to the eardrum. Then, in the middle ear, the sound waves cause the three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) to vibrate. Finally, in the inner ear, the vibrations are transformed into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.

What does the ear canal do for an ear?
The ear needs the ear canal to send everything that it hears to the brain.
What part of the brain is located behind the right ear?
The part of the brain located behind the right ear is the temporal lobe.

What important organ of the body is connected to the ears?
In Western Anatomy, the ear canal is connected to the sinuses. Any obstruction of the ear will affect the breathing/eyes immediately. Also, the ear drum is the center of equilibrium in the body. If it is working properly, a person's balance will be normal. If there is an infection or fluid in the ear canal, that can greatly change their equilibrium. From a Traditional Chinese Medical standpoint, the ears are the extremities of the Kidneys. They affect the overall energy of the body, and can be used as a diagnostic tool. Also, ear acupuncture is very common in weight loss and smoking cessation therapy. Being very close to the brain, ear therapy is amazing! Hope this is helpful to you.
What happens when a wasp flies into your ear and stings your brain?
Because there is an eardrum in between the outer ear and inner ear, there is no way for it to get right into your brain. There is no tube that goes all the way in.
What do you need to hear sound?
Ears, a brain, components in the ear (ear drum, ear canals etc.)
Where in the ear in sound changed into signals that are sent to the brain?
The inner ear is responsible for converting sound waves into neural impulses that are sent to the brain.
Do both the brain and the ear control your body?
No
Can an infected mastoid affect balance?
There are 2 little organs (1 in each ear) called cochlea. They tell your brain which way is up and detect motion, keeping you balanced. When you get an ear infection, there is often swelling in the ear, which puts pressure on the cochlea and 'confuses' it, causing bad signals to be sent to the brain and not allowing you to balance.
