Inner Ear
How Do We Hear?
- Sound wave vibrations are collected by the outer ear and directed through the ear canal to the eardrum.
- The eardrum movements travel through the hearing bones and are transferred to the fluid in the inner ear.
- The hearing cells in the cochlea (hearing organ) move with the vibrations.
- This movement transfers into electrical impulses that are transmitted along the Auditory nerve to the brain.
