are vibrations
•Ear: Divided
into your outer, middle and inner ear
•Cochlea: Part
of your inner ear, where your actual organ of hearing is located
•The outer ear consists
of the pinna, ear canal and eardrum•The middle ear consists
of the ossicles and ear drum•The inner ear consists
of the cochlea, the auditory (hearing) nerve and the brain
•Locating sounds: Sound
reaches your two ears at different times, enabling you to locate its source
•Ears, nerves and brain:
Your
ears
are your organs of hearing. In order to hear, however, you also need your
cochlear nerves to transmit nerve impulses to your brain, which then interpret
the sounds coming from the world surrounding you.
