036 An Overview of the Mechanism of Hearing

Leslie Samuel explains the mechanism of hearing in this video. He introduces the anatomy of the ear, including the external ear, auditory canal, eardrum, ossicles, cochlea, and auditory nerve. The video details how sound waves cause vibrations that are transmitted through these structures, ultimately sending signals to the brain to interpret as sound. An animation is used to illustrate the process, and viewers are encouraged to ask questions and explore additional resources.
