| wot does energy do in order for us to hear | to hear a sound, its energy needs to be transmitted through your eardrum and delicate structures of the ears. |
| wot happens to the sound waves | your ears collect sound waves as they enter the outer ear and travel through the ear canal. |
| wot does the vibration of the sound wave do | the vibration of the sound wave strikes the eardrum, causing the eardrum to vibrate. |
| where does the vibration then move to? | this vibration is then passed on to the three bones of the middle ear. |
| wot does the movement of the bones cause? | the movement of the bones of the middle ear set up vibrations in the fluid of the cochlea which is located in the inner ear. |
| wot happens in the cochlea | it is in the cochlea that these vibrations are converted into the electrical impulses that your brain interprets as sound. |
