InnerEar

What actually happens when we hear sounds

We know that the membrane

Of the inner ear changes soundwaves and audible sensations

Soundwaves

Soundwaves

Soundwaves

Soundwaves

But until recently noone had

Seen the whole inner ear in action

When soundwaves strike the membrane it

Makes thousands of microscopic movements per second

Shocks from simulated soundwaves
