Q

How is the sound pressure waves transformed into electrical energy ?

A

External ear captures sound waves and transmits it to the middle ear via tympanic membrane.

Waves on tympanic membrane vibrate the ossicles

Stapes ossicle vibrates oval window to produce waves in the perilymph

Perilymph movement displaces tectorial and basement membranes

Electrical firing of cochlear neurons
