Answer:

Vibrates

Step-by-step explanation:

The eardrum also is known as the tympanic membrane is located at the end of the ear canal.

The outer part of the ear known as the pinna is responsible for collecting the sound waves that then travel down the auditory canal and reaches the eardrum which then starts vibrating and these vibrations are then further transmitted to the inner ear and finally an auditory signal is produced.
