Answer:

SOUND WAVES enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. ... Moving fluid bends thousands of delicate hair-like cells which convert the vibrations into NERVE IMPULSES. Nerve impulses are CARRIED to the brain by the auditory nerve. In the brain, these impulses are CONVERTED into what we "hear" as sound.
