the eardrum
the inner ear
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.
The nerves in the ear transmit sound information from the cochlea to the brain for processing. They also play a role in helping to maintain balance by sending signals related to head position and movement to the brain.
There are several (a lot) of tiny hair like structures inside the ear will vibrate in response to certain sound frequencies. When a hair vibrates, it stimulates a particular cell which sends a signal to the neurons next to it, to the brain. The brain takes all of the inputs and can interpret that as sounds and frequencies. Louder sounds will cause it to vibrate more, so the brain can interpret that as well.
The ear drum. Then the ear drum pass the vibrations onto the hammer, stirrup, and anvil (the smallest bones in the human body in the inner ear), where nerves send electrical impulses called synapses to the brain. The brain processes the vibrations and sends you the sound the noise created.
That would be the brain. The ear itself is only designed to transfer the wave frequency through the hair cells in the cocchlea to the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve sends the signal to the brain where it is interpreted.
The cochlea
Auditory Nerve
The simple answer: In the inner ear the cochlea (the roundish wound up thing that looks a little like a snail shell to me), picks up vibrations from the eardrum (AKA Tympanic membrane) which are then converted to nerve impulses, which are received by the brain as sound.

in your inner ear there is a bone which then vibrates and sends that to the brain, after this process, you can hear stuff (unless you can't hear).

The part of the brain located behind the right ear is the temporal lobe.
