How our ears work

 Our ears are important for billions of good reasons. The ears not only have the ability to hear, but it also makes it possible for us to balance. The ear isn’t just the hearing part. It’s not only for humans to hear but it also makes it possible for humans to walk and balance. You probably never knew that but I'm glad you do now.


How the ear works is that the sound goes through the pinna and the pinnas job is to capture the sound plus what the pinna is made of is cartilage the pinna is the outside of our ear, afterwards the sound funnels continuously through the ear canal where all the ear waxes are located and the ear waxes job is to keep out water, dirt, dust and little bugs and from the ear canal to the eardrum it vibrates then it sends the same sound to the three smallest bones in your body which are the Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup, afterwards the  ossicles make the sound louder and sends it to the cochlea, the cochlea have delicate cells that are shaped like hair so dont break them because they will not regenerate, afterwards the vibration causes the liquid to ripple and it converts the vibrations into electrical impulses and takes it to the brain by the auditory nerve. 


When we grow older our hearing doesn't work as well as it was when you were young so you better use it alot cause when you grow older you will not have the chance to hear much things as you did before. Our ears are very important because they help us hear and help us balance. If we never had ears I don't think anyone would be talking fluently, only hands moving and eyes looking so it is very important to take care of our ears or we’ll never hear anything for the rest of our lives. 


Take care of your ears cause when you grow older you’d regret everything.
