Question

How do we hear different sounds?

Short Answer

Solution

Sound waves enter our ear and make the eardrum vibrate. These vibrations reach the cochlea, which converts them into electrical signals. The auditory nerve carries them to the brain to interpret sound. We differentiate sounds because the brain recognizes variations in their loudness and pitch.
