Learning Objective
I can describe how sound travels through the ear.
- 1
The three main sections of the ear are the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear.

The eardrum vibrates when sound waves enter the middle ear, causing the ossicles to vibrate.

The cochlea and semicircular canals are located in the inner ear and send signals to the brain via the auditory and vestibular nerves.
