Write down mechanism of hearing
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 10 months ago

  • The pinna receives sound waves and directs them to the ear drum.
  • The ear drum vibrates, and the vibrations are sent to the ear ossicles in the middle ear.
  • The ear ossicles further transmit the vibrations to the oval window.
  • The oval window passes the vibrations to the fluid of cochlea and causes vibrations in it.
  • The vibrations induce a ripple in the basilar membrane which bends the hair cells, which are pressed against the tectorial membrane.
  • This causes the generation of the nerve impulse which is transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve.
  • The impulses are analysed, and the sound is recognised or heard.
