How sound travels through the Ear
The ear has many major parts that help sound travel. Sounds travel in a wave like motion,
arriving at the outer ear forming vibrations that are funneled into the auditory canal which
leads to the eardrum. When sound waves hit the eardrum, it vibrates. The more intense
that the sound is, the more that the eardrum will vibrate. These vibrations then make their
way to a place known as the middle ear, which consists of three different bones: hammer,
anvil and stirrup. These bones increase the strength of the vibrations that are coming from
the eardrum. The inner ear is responsible for changing the sound vibrations into
something that can easily be transmitted to the brain. Inside the inner ear you will find the
cochlea and the basilar membrane, these structures divide the ear into an upper chamber
and lower chamber. The basilar membrane is covered in hair cells, and when these hair
cells are bent by the vibrations coming from the cochlea they send messages to the brain.

necessary.
Things are very different when you are unable to hear, you have to be a lot more
perceptive to what is going on around you. In my 15-30 minute observation I started to
cook dinner and that is where I used smell and sight. I would typically use my hearing
to listen to what I was cooking on the stove to help determine when it was finished, but
instead I had to watch my dinner cook until finished. Which then incorporated taste and
smell. Taste was to make sure that what I cooked for dinner had the correct flavor and
