EXPLANATION+OF+THE+MECHANISM+OF+HEARING

= When sound vibrations reach our ear, they travel along the auditory canal (outer ear) until the eardrum (middle ear).The eardrum transmits these vibrations to the cochlea along the ossicles (anvil, stirrup and hammer). In the cochlea (inner ear) there are mechanoreceptors(auditory cells) which sense these vibrations and send a message to the brain along the auditory nerve. =
