There is a ear drum placed between external and internal ear. It is the most prominent structure that vibrates to produce sound. Then the three tiny bones in the middle ear also vibrate. Then the oval and round windows also vibrate. Then the hair cells in the inner ear also vibrate. The fluid that is present in the cochlea also vibrates.
gathers sound waves.
The outer ear, including the pinna and ear canal, collects sound waves from the environment and funnels them into the ear canal. It also helps in localizing the source of a sound by capturing and amplifying sound waves. The shape of the outer ear helps in enhancing certain frequencies of sound before they reach the middle and inner ear for further processing.
ear drum
The eardrum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is the thin membrane in the ear that vibrates when sound waves reach it. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle and inner ear for further processing.
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.
when you hear things, its really sound waves. the sound waves enter your ear, then it vibrates the ear drum.
The sound waves come through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (or tympanic membrane). The eardrum is connected to the 3 ossicles of the middle ear: the hammer, anvil and stirrup (or malleus, incus and stapes). The eardrum vibrates the hammer, the hammer vibrates the anvil, the anvil vibrates the stirrup and the stirrup vibrates the cochlea in the inner ear which has hair-like nerve endings called cilia that move when the cochlea vibrates. The auditory nerve sends the vibrations to the brain to be interpreted. That's how we hear! :)
The eardrum
Yes, sound waves are collected by the outer ear and travel through the ear canal to the eardrum. When the eardrum vibrates in response to these sound waves, it sends these vibrations to the middle ear and then to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are processed by the brain as sound.
Your eardrum which is the membrane in the ear that vibrates to sound.
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) vibrates in response to sound waves entering the ear canal. These vibrations are then transmitted to the small bones in the middle ear, which in turn amplify and transmit the sound to the inner ear for further processing.
Sound is longitudinal waves that you can hear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_wave
gathers sound waves.
The tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum, is the part of the ear that converts sound waves into vibrations. When sound waves reach the eardrum, it vibrates and transmits these vibrations to the middle ear.
The ear drum
It vibrates. The vibrations move through the dtring, then though the air and into your ear. In the ear the eardrum vibrates.
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).
