Auditory system model

The auditory system model describes how we perceive sound, starting from the outer ear collecting sound waves, which then travel through the middle ear to vibrate the eardrum. These vibrations are transferred to the inner ear's cochlea, where tiny hair cells convert them into electrical signals. These signals are sent via neural pathways to the brain's auditory cortex, where they are interpreted as sounds—like speech, music, or noise. This process involves both mechanical and neurological components working together to enable us to perceive and make sense of the sounds around us.
