Sound travels through the pinna which directs it into the ear canal towards the eardrum, or tympanic membrane. Vibrations from the eardrum are transferred by the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones to the cochlea in the inner ear. The cochlea converts the vibrations into neural signals which are then sent through the auditory nerve to the brain for processing and interpretation of sound.
