Hearing aids merely amplify sounds, while cochlear implants transform sound waves
into electrical waves that the brain interprets, but they don't pick up all of the natural frequencies.

The Los Angeles - based company has developed technology that transmits ultrasonic
waves (at a register well beyond what's audible) that are translated by devices as a microscopic quiver; this vibration is converted back
into an
electrical charge to power anything with a battery, no wires or wall plugs required.
Using transducers, uBeam's device, which is not yet on the market, converts

waves into a measurable
electrical signal, has so far not been able to allow for a distinct assignment of experimentally detected signals.
The American instrument is an acoustic transducer, which converts
electrical energy
into sound
waves.
Antennas receive information by resonating with EM
waves, which they convert
into electrical voltage.
A sound enters the ear and triggers a stream of action potentials, which nudge the
waves of
electrical activity coursing through the cortex
into a particular chaotic pattern, or attractor.
The cochlea has the all - important job of transforming mechanical energy in the form of sound
waves into electrical signals that run along auditory nerves to the brain.

waves into electrical signals inside the organ of Corti, which is lined with rows of 15,000 to 20,000 hairlike cells.
Next, the researchers determined that the engineered cells responded to sound
waves and turned them
into electrical signals.
Researchers have identified a molecule that can transform the mechanical stimulus of a sound
wave into an
electrical signal recognizable by the brain.
In ALMA, the observed radio
waves are divided
into 10 frequency bands and then converted
into electrical signals.
The receiver converts radio
waves collected by the antennas
into electrical signals for computer processing.

electrical signals are converted
into precisely defined sound
waves using neodymium magnet drivers, and the mid-range speakers feature extremely stiff Hexacone diaphragms.

electrical energy between Alice and Lucy crackles with kinetic menace, as Mangan turn the mood and the setting of the story
into a kind of composite force field that sucks the reader in almost instantly, like a
wave of humid air blanketing you after emerging from an air - cooled room.
Then as now, the primary function of a radio was to convert radio
waves into small
electrical pulses which, when amplified, could be converted
into recognizable sound.
