Ho w the Ear Wor k s
1. Acoustic design of the outer ear captures the oncoming sound
waves.
2. Sound waves enter the ear canal and penetrate the eardrum
(tympanic membrane).
3. The eardrum taps the malleus causing a chain reaction with the
stapes and the incus.
4. The incus taps the cochlea, causing a hydraulic effect on
35,000-40,000 hair-like nerves (cilia) in the cochlea.
5. As the cilia are pushed, they send a signal through the auditory
nerve to the brain.
6. The brain registers the incoming signal as a specific sound.
