Best Answer

The vibration from sounds hit the tympanic membrane (ear drum), which in turns causes the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) to amplify and send the signals to the cochlear (inner ear). The cochlear processes the sounds and sends the information through the Vestibulocochlear nerve to the brain.
