Question
How does sound produced by a source reach our ears?
✓

Answer

Sound waves travel into the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones or ossicles into the inner ear. The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is also called the cochlea. The brain tells you that you are hearing a sound and what that sound is.
