How sound travels through the Ear

The ear has many major parts that help sound travel. Sounds travel in a wave like motion,

arriving at the outer ear forming vibrations that are funneled into the auditory canal which

leads to the eardrum. When sound waves hit the eardrum, it vibrates. The more intense

that the sound is, the more that the eardrum will vibrate. These vibrations then make their

way to a place known as the middle ear, which consists of three different bones: hammer,

anvil and stirrup. These bones increase the strength of the vibrations that are coming from

the eardrum. The inner ear is responsible for changing the sound vibrations into

something that can easily be transmitted to the brain. Inside the inner ear you will find the

cochlea and the basilar membrane, these structures divide the ear into an upper chamber

and lower chamber. The basilar membrane is covered in hair cells, and when these hair

cells are bent by the vibrations coming from the cochlea they send messages to the brain.
