When sound waves enter our ears, they travel through the ear canal into the ear drum. It is then, that the ear drum vibrates from these musical sound waves and sends vibrations into our middle ears. The tiny bones then amplify the vibrations and send the movement information to the fluid filed cochlea. The fluid then begins to ripple all around, sending tiny hairs into a frenzy inside the basilar membrane. The hairs begin to move up and down, causing pores to open up and outputting electrical signals that contain important internal information. Nerves then detect, read and carry these signals to the master brain, which in part turns the sound into something we personally categorize.
