Sound vibrations move through the ossicles to the cochlea. Sound vibrations cause the fluid in the cochlea to move. ... The auditory nerve sends signals to the brain where they are interpreted as sounds.

Sound is made and going to your ear.

Its first stop is the pinna, the visible part of the outside ear.

As it reaches the pinna, it's going through the ear canal.

After that, the sound waves are going to the ear drum and it vibrates.

Then, the vibrations are sent to three tiny

bones called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup.

Continuing on, it moves to the cochlea and this is where tiny hairs

twist and turn and make vibrations which become electrical signals.

These electrical signals are then sent through the auditory nerve

and it's sent to the brain and the brain interprets it as sound.
