It's acoustic vibrations in the air, little waves of energy in the air that tickle our eardrum.

Somehow in tickling our eardrum that transmits energy down our hearing bones, which get converted to a fluid impulse inside the cochlea and then somehow converted into an electrical signal in our auditory nerves that somehow wind up in our brains as a perception of a song or a beautiful piece of music.

Back then you couldn't even look at the eardrum.

The solution is the eardrum, or tympanic membrane, and the tiny bones of the middle ear.

Those convert the large movements of the eardrum into pressure waves in the fluid of the cochlea.

When sound enters the ear canal, it hits the eardrum and makes it vibrate like the head of a drum.

The vibrating eardrum jerks a bone called the hammer, which hits the anvil and moves the third bone called the stapes.

The smallest sound you can perceive moves your eardrum just four atomic diameters.
