Question

In this assignment, you will label a blank diagram of an ear and describe the steps for how hearing works

In the space below, describe how hearing works. Include all parts of the ear and brain that the energy
goes in and through. Your description can be written as a series of numbered steps or in paragraph form.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound waves enter the ear and are trapped in the pinna. They go through the auditory canal to the ear drum in the middle ear. The parts of the middle ear are the stirrup, anvil, and hammer. These sounds are sent to the vestibular system and then sent through the auditory nerve to the brain.

Answer 2

Sound waves from the source of sound are trapped by the pinna and collected to the to the auditory canal where they are concentrated to the middle ear consisting of the ear drum (stirrup, anvil, hammer). Here the sound waves are amplified further to the semi-circular canal where these waves are converted to impulses and sent to the brain via the auditory nerve for interpretation
