- The sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, which sets the three tiny bones in the middle ear into motion. The motion of the bones causes the fluid in the inner ear or cochlea to move. ... These electrical impulses are transmitted to the hearing (auditory) nerve and up to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.

Answer:
The human ear consists of three parts i.e. the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.
Outer ear:
Ear Canal:
The ear canal starts at the outer ear and ends at the ear drum. The approximate length of the ear canal is an inch.
Ear Drum:
In medical terms, ear drum is known as tympanic membrane and the size remains the same in the new born baby and in the adult.
Middle ear:
The middle ear is the part of the ear between the eardrum and the oval window. The sound from the outer ear to inner ear is transmitted through the middle ear.
Inner ear
The inner ear is the innermost part of the ear. It consists of the cochlea, the balance mechanism, the vestibular, and the auditory nerve. The sound waves before entering the inner ear, they travel through the oval window.
