                                \nAnswer:
                                \nOur ear consists of three sections, the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear, Pinna of external ear collects the sound vibrations. They enter into the ear canal. We have learnt that sound travels in the form of vibrations: These vibrations strike the tympanum (eardrum) and make it to vibrate.
                                \n\"AP
                                \nThe vibrations from the tympanic membrane reach the middle ear (ear ossicles), contains three small bones malleus (hammer shaped), incus (anvil shaped) and stapes (stirrup shaped). They magnify the sound vibrations.
                                \nThe stapes transmits the vibrations to the membrane of oval window. The oval window has the surface area 1\/20th of the ear-drum. By this the vibrations increase 30 to 60 times. The vibrations from the oval window transmit to the cochlea which is the inner part of the ear. The cochlea is filled with fluid which transmits the vibrations. The motion of the vibrations in the cochlea is detected by tiny hairs connected to nerves at this point. The vibrations are transformed into electrical signals and carried by the nerves to the brain where the sensation of the sound is realized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
