When friends say “Hello,” the
sound waves quickly reach
your middle ear and cause
the ear membrane to vibrate.
This vibration is transmitted
to three small bones. Their
vibration is transmitted to the
inner ear, where a special
fluid inside the cochlea is set
in motion. Inside the cochlea,
there are fine threads of dif-
fering thicknesses just like
the strings of a harp.

Figure 113.
The thickest strings vibrate first, followed by the
thinner ones. Finally, tens of thousands of rod-
shaped bodies in the inner ear transmit their own vi-
brations to the hearing nerves. The sound of your
friends’ “Hello” is now only an electrical signal.
