How does hearing music from headphones work? Here are steps on how we hear music from headphones:
- Sound waves from the headphones enter through the ear canal.
- The sound waves create vibrations in the bones of the middle ear.
- These vibrations that were created by the sound waves are converted into electrical signals in the cochlea.
- After this process, the signals are sent to the brain (the auditory nerve pathway).
Important parts of the ear:
Outer Ear: Sound waves, which are vibrations, enter through the outer ear and reach the middle ear to vibrate the eardrum.
