When your eardrum vibrates, it is responding to sound it has heard. Then, it send a signal to your brain telling your body to react.

What does the outer ear?

The outer ear helps funnel sound (vibrations) into the inner ear, increasing the number of quieter things you can hear.


What occurs when sound waves don't pass through the outer to the inner ear?

You don't hear anything. They don't actually have to get there through the outer ear. If your ear is plugged, or if your 'tympanum' (ear drum) is broken, the vibrations can conduct through the bone that you feel behind your ear. But they do have to get to the inner ear somehow. If vibrations don't reach the cochlea in the inner ear, then you don't hear anything.


What would happen if the bones in the middle of the ear did not work properly?

Your outer ear would sag or hang making it harder to hear.


What is an explanation of how human ear works?

Sound is picked up by the outer ear and is sent to the middle ear. It is amplified and enters the cochlea which allows us to hear.


Where in the body are the important parts of the ear found?

The important parts of the ear are found in three main areas of the body: outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. The outer ear consists of the visible part of the ear and the ear canal. The middle ear includes the eardrum and three small bones called ossicles. The inner ear contains the cochlea, responsible for hearing, and the semicircular canals, responsible for balance.


What happens when sound waves reach your outer ear and how does the outer ear play a role in the process of hearing?

When sound waves reach your outer ear, they are funneled through the ear canal to the eardrum. The outer ear helps to collect and direct sound waves towards the eardrum, where they cause it to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where they are amplified and converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing, allowing us to hear and interpret sounds.


How does the outer ear work?

The outer ear works by making things loud enough so you can hear something. have you ever rolled your ears up and all the noises around you got louder? That's why.


Does the hair in your ear help you hear?

What is the function of the eardrum inner ear and outer ear?

to transmit sound entering the outer ear to the bones of the middle ear


Do ear hairs play a role in helping you hear?

Yes, ear hairs help to protect the ear canal and enhance the ability to hear by capturing and directing sound waves towards the eardrum.

What is the typtanic membrane in the ear?

The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is a thin membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear. Its main function is to transmit sound waves from the outer ear to the middle ear, where they are then converted into mechanical vibrations for the inner ear to process.
