HEARING
Eardrum
Your ears are like funnels – they collect
sound waves in your ear flaps and then
they travel down your ear tube into
your ear drum. The curved shape of
your ears makes this easier to do. Down
your ear tube there is more of your ear
that you cannot see. There is a curled
up tube called a cochlea, that looks like
a snail and this turns all of the sounds
you hear into messages for your brain.
