3BHow Your Hearing Works THE OUTER EAR When we think of our ears, we generally think of the pinnae, which are the visible protrusions of our ears. Some of us may have large ears, others small, but they all serve the same function: to collect the sounds around us and transport them to the inner ear where they are sent as signals to the brain. The shape of our ears is ingenious—the curves of the outer ear, which are made up of cartilage, are not simply decorative, they serve to funnel the sounds in the atmosphere into the ear canal. The ear is actually much more than what is visible to the eye. How sound is Made and Carried To understand the function of the ears, we should take a moment to discuss how sound is created and how it travels. Sound waves are the result of vibrations that travel through our atmosphere - basically the bumping together of particles of matter through the collision of air particles. Wherever the vibration is made, the sound will be carried, even in water or in earth. 201 3 Tinnitus Miracl e – Tho mas Co l eman- Page 29 29
