Normally, we hear sounds only when they make
our eardrums vibrate.
In order to detect any problems, the product is using sound waves, making
the eardrum vibrate.
A sound wave sets
your eardrum vibrating, which ultimately causes a spiraling membrane within the inner ear called the basilar membrane to vibrate, too.
Incoming sound waves make
the eardrum vibrate, and the eardrum delivers these vibrations using the ossicles to the inner ear where hair cells translate them into electric signals sent to the brain.
When one of
eardrums vibrates from a sound wave it pushes the other, and the tiny time difference it takes to activate one ear drum allows the fly to figure out which direction the sound is coming from.

An ear infection is most often a bacterial or viral infection that affects the middle ear, the air - filled space behind the

HEAR YE, HEAR YE: On the phone or otherwise, the process of hearing usually begins when airborne sound waves travel through the ear canal and then hit the
eardrum, causing it to
vibrate.
The modern ear adapted by channeling sound waves onto an elastic membrane (the
eardrum), causing it to
vibrate.
Hair cells in the cochlea use this gradient to convert the mechanical force of the
vibrating eardrum into electrical signals that the brain can understand.
