How do the vibrations of the eardrum get transmitted to the fluid in the cochlea

Sound funnels into the ear canal and causes the eardrum to move. Soundvibrations move through the ossicles to the cochlea. Sound vibrations cause the fluid in the cochlea to move. ... The auditory nerve sends signals to the brain where they are interpreted as sounds.

The sound vibrations are transferred from air to the ear drum. Beyond the ear drum there are three bones named as hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The hammer is connected to the eardrum and the anvil to the hammer and the stirrup is the last bone which is connected to anvil. The last ear bone (stirrup) is connected to Cochlea (which contains fluid) in a window like opening. The vibrations from ear drum transfer from these bones to this window like structure.
Beyond this is the fluid containing ions (charged particles) these ions get some movement in them because of vibration. These charged particles movements are catched by hair like structures in our cochlea and sends electrical signals to auditory nerve and which in turn is send to the brain.
