  • Sound
    • Pinna collects sound
      • Sound travels through ear canal
        • Eardrum vibrates
          • Eardrum induces hammer to vibrate
            • hammer hits anvil
              • Anvil hits stirrup
                • The stirrup makes the biggest movement causing the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate.
                  • The hair cells in the cochlea converts waves into electrical signals
                    • The auditory nerve passes the signals to the brain which recognizes them as different sounds.
