explain how human Ear works?
Outer ear works
The outer ear is called ‘pinna’. It collects
the sound from the surroundings.
The
collected sound passes through the auditory
canal. At the end of the auditory canal there
is a thin membrane called the ear drum or
tympanic membrane.
When a compression
of the medium reaches the eardrum the
pressure on the outside of the membrane
increases and forces the eardrum inward.
Similarly, the eardrum moves outward when
a rarefaction reaches it. In this way the
eardrum vibrates.
middle ear works
The vibrations are
amplified several times by three bones (the
hammer, anvil and stirrup) in the middle ear.
The middle ear transmits the amplified
pressure variations received from the sound
wave to the inner ear.
inner ear works
In the inner ear, the
pressure variations are turned into electrical
signals by the cochlea. These electrical signals
are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve,
and the brain interprets them as sound.
