Hearing

The ear is the organ of hearing. Vibrations in the air are funneled into the ear canal and hit the eardrum causing it to vibrate. This sets off a chain reaction of vibrations. Through the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup, vibrations are then passed to the cochlea, which contains thousands of hair-like nerve endings which change the vibrations into "messages". These messages are then sent to the brain via the auditory nerve.
