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 is the work of the Implant in your ear?

The implant system has three primary parts:Microphone and Transmitter - The headpiece and transmitter is about the size of a quarter and is worn above the ear to pick up sounds. These sounds are sent to a speech processor.Speech Processor - The speech processor is worn externally, either on a belt like a pager or behind the ear like a large hearing aid, to convert sound into a digital code that is transmitted to an implanted stimulator.Implanted Stimulator - The implanted stimulator is a small component placed under the skin behind the ear. It receives a digital code from the speech processor and sends it to the auditory or hearing nerve. The brain interprets this signal and it is recognized as sound.The small headpiece and transmitter is held in place by a magnet coupled to the implanted stimulator under the skin.
