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.

What part of the ear vibrates when sound waves strike it?

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! :)

Do You hear sound when your ear drum vibrates?

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.


You can't hear when you wear ear plugs because the vibrations cannot reach your what?

What part of the ear changes the sound waves that travel down your ear into vibrations?
