How a Normal Ear Works

The ear is the first part of the hearing system of your body.

normal hearing mechanismThe pinna is the outer part of the ear that gathers sound waves and directs them into the ear canal.

Sound waves then cause the eardrum to vibrate. Ear drum vibrations are passed across the middle ear by three tiny hearing bones. Hearing bones increase the strength of the vibrations before they pass into the cochlea.

The cochlea consists of thousands of tiny sound-sensitive hair cells.

Hair Cells movement creates a small electrical charge which moves along the auditory nerve to the brain hearing centre, where it is converted into signals that can be understood.
