It collects sound waves and channels them into the ear canal (external auditory meatus), where the sound is amplified. The sound waves then travel toward a flexible, oval membrane at the end of the ear canal called the eardrum, or tympanic membrane. Sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate.

The ear is a sensory organ that aids in hearing and balance. It uses a transduction technique to analyse and identify sounds. It's when sound waves are converted into electric and chemical impulses.
Explanation:
- Sound waves from the environment are conveyed to the ear in the form of sound waves. The pinna in the outer ear collects these waves and transfers them to the ear canal, where the eardrum is located on the other end.
- These sound waves generate vibrations in the eardrum, which causes the three sets of bones on the top of the eardrum, known as the anvil, stirrup, and hammer, to move.
- The movement of the three bones causes the fluid in the cochlea, or inner ear, to move.
- The inner fluid movement causes the hair cells in the cochlea to flex. These hair cells aid in the modification of electrical impulse fluid flow.
- The electrical impulse is then conveyed to the brain via the auditory or hearing nerve, where it is interpreted by the brain.
