How do we hear?

 
In order to understand hearing loss, you need to understand the basics of the hearing process. Sound is funneled into the outer ear. Here it enters the ear canal, which leads the sound to the ear drum. The ear drum vibrates causing small bones in our ears to move. Through this movement a snail-shaped structure picks up the vibrations signaling to our brain what we are hearing.
