- In hearing instruments, the sound we hear will be captured by the earlobe and then transmitted to the eardrum, causing the eardrum to vibrate, the vibrations are transmitted by the auditory bone to the earlobe and transmitted to the cochlea, and in the cochlea, the lymph fluid will vibrate thereby stimulating the endings of the hearing nerve and generates nerve impulses which are directed to the brain, in the brain these impulses will be processed so that we can hear, analyze and recognize the sound.
