The pinna (outside part) and auditory canal "funnels" sound waves into the ear

The tympanic membrane (eardrum) vibrates against the three ossicles (bones) in the middle ear:

1. the malleus

2. the incus

3. the stapes

These three bring the vibrations into the cochlea, through the oval window. Inside the cochlea, the vibrations are converted by another system in which a basilar membrane vibrates against hair cells, which are connected to auditory nerves that pick up the vibrations and convert them to sounds that are brought to the brain.

The eustachian tube is below the cochlea and is connects to the back of the throat. It's use is to equalize pressure inside the inner ear.
