Sound is a disturbance of mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a wave. Sound is characterized by the properties of sound waves, which are frequency, wavelength, period, amplitude and velocity or speed.\n\nBy sound, we commonly mean the vibrations that travel through air and can be heard by humans. However, scientists and engineers use a wider definition of sound that includes low and high frequency vibrations in air that cannot be heard by humans, and vibrations that travel through all forms of matter, gases, liquids and solids. The matter that supports the sound is called the medium. Sound propagates as waves of alternating pressure, causing local regions of compression and rarefaction. Particles in the medium are displaced by the wave and oscillate. The scientific study of sound is called acoustics.\n\nNoise and sound often mean the same thing; but noise is often used to refer to an unwanted sound. In science and engineering, noise is an undesirable component that obscures a signal\n\nSound is perceived through the sense of hearing. Humans and many animals use their ears to hear sound, but loud sounds and low-frequency sounds can be perceived by other parts of the body through the sense of touch. Sounds are used in several ways, notably for communication through speech or, for example, music. Sound can also be used to acquire information about properties of the surrounding environment such as spatial characteristics and presence of other animals or objects. For example, bats use echolocation, ships and submarines use sonar, and humans can determine spatial information by the way in which they perceive sounds.\n\nThe speed at which sound travels depends on the medium through which the waves are passing, and is often quoted as a fundamental property of the material. In general, the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the ratio of the stiffness of the medium and its density. Those physical properties and the speed of sound change with ambient conditions. For example, the speed of sound in air and other gases depends on temperature. In air, the speed of sound is approximately 345 ms-1, in water 1500 ms-1 and in a bar of steel 5000 ms-1.

if you are asking why older people cant hear higher sounds this is why...Sound is collected by the pinna (the visible part of the ear) ...yada yada yada... the vibration is eventually transferred to the snail-shaped cochlea in the inner ear; the cochlea is lined with sensitive hairs which trigger the generation of nerve signals that are  sent to the brain. People can usually hear sounds in the frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hertz at birth. The higher frequencies are picked up by the smaller hairs, which are more brittle. As we age the more brittle ones break off and thus we lose our abilty to hear high frequencies.

sorry but they are all wrong  \nits very simple  \n     1 part vinegar \n     1 part alcohol\nalcohol alone will dry out you inner ear and will just cause more problems

obviously in liquid. i have not tried to hear sound in liquid but you already know that we can listen the sound of train by putting our ear on the track while the train is very far and can't listen the same in air.\nSound is a wave and denser the medium faster the speed of wave.

The ear is devided into three parts,External ear,intermediate ear and the internal ear,there is a tiny membrane  (ear drum) separating between the external and intermediate ears, this membrane doesn't allow any thing to get into the deep structures of the ear unless it is perforated,and also the wax which present in the ear canal prevent any thing from entering in to the intermediate ear.\nabout the nose,there is no direct contact between the the nasal cavity and the brain,it's separated by the bones of the skull base.

It is like SONAR.  A high frequency sound is emitted that bounces off surfaces inside your body.  The bounced back sound is collected and is used to generate a picture of your insides.

Actually, no it doesn't. The sound you hear is actually vibrations in your ear that your brain converts to noise. So if there are no living creatures with ears and brains around to 'hear' it, it does not make a noise...just some air vibrations going all over the place.

there are different organs used for hearing but the most common is the ears.\nThis is the organ that receives vibrations of sound transferred electrically to your brain where you get a sensation from the vibration commonly referred to as hearing.

Yes. \nFishes only have internal ear, that is to say, no opening to the body surface and no tympanic membrane, but the vibrations (sound waves) are transmited from the water to the inner ear through the body tissues. Sound travels really well inside the water, even if we (with our land-adapted hearing system) cannot hear much of it. \nIn addition, some groups of freshwater fishes have a special system that enhances sound hearing. This is called "Webberian apparatus" and consists of a chain of small ossicles (derived from the first trunk vertebrae) that are situated between the swimming bladder and the internal ear. Thus, when sound waves contact the swimming bladder (which acts like the membrane of a drum), it is amplified and transmitted to the inner ear by means of the vibration of these small bones. The fishes that possess this system (known collectively as "ostariophysean" (Ostariophysi) include well-known species such as catfish, tetras and characins, carps, and the electric eel. \n\nBirds, as all tetrapods, _do_ have a middle ear, but with only one ossicle (we mammals have three). They don't have external ears, but they have a short external auditory meatus (duct) so the tympanic membrane is not on the surface (as in frogs). Sound makes the tympanum vibrate, this vibration is transmitted through the ossicle (columella auris) and goes to the inner ear.

Sound travels faster through denser materials.  The closer the molecules of the material are, the easier it is for them to pass the sound energy between them.\n\nSolids are the densest of the three, then liquids, then gases.

ringing in the ears is called Tinnitus \n\nCauses for Tinnitus or ringing in the ear: \n\nAge-related tinnitus causes - hearing loss (presbycusis) occurring usually around age 60. \n\nTrauma-related tinnitus causes - damage to the inner ear (could result from excessive exposure to loud sound). \n\nLong-term use of medications such as aspirin (in large doses), quinine (used in treatment of malaria), antibiotics and anti-inflammatory can be tinnitus causes. Often the unwanted noises disappear once the drugs are discontinued. \n\nTemporomandibular joint problems (jaw disorders resulting in clicking or grating noises) can be one of the tinnitus causes. \n\nOtosclerosis (stiffening of the bones in the middle ear). \n\nTrauma or injury to the head or neck can be a tinnitus cause. \n\nEar wax – Buildup of excess wax in the ear can reduce your ability to hear outside noises, and can be tinnitus causes by causing you to hear internal noises better. \n\nEar infection – If an infection reduces your ability to hear outside noises, you are more likely to hear the noises related to Tinnitus. \n\nAtherosclerosis – Buildup of cholesterol and other fatty deposits causes tinnitus by causing the middle and inner ear to loose its elasticity which causes the blood flow to become more forceful which makes it easier for the ear to detect the beats. \n\nHigh blood pressure – High blood pressure and factors that increase the blood pressure such as stress, alcohol and caffeine are tinnitus causes and can make the sounds more noticeable. \n\nFood--Specific foods may trigger tinnitus. Problem foods include red wine, grain-based spirits, cheese, and chocolate. Tinnitus may also be caused by foods rich in salicylates (the same ingredient as in aspirin, which also causes tinnitus when taken in large amounts).  \n\nGrowths/tumors--Acoustic neuromas, glomous tumors, otosclerosis may all be tinnitus causes. Surgery may be recommended. \n\nStress--Stress is not a direct cause of tinnitus, but it may generally make an already existing case worse. \n\nSince tinnitus might be a symptom of another health problem, see your doctor for any hearing concerns.  Caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, aspirin, antihistamines, and prescription or even over-the-counter medications can aggravate existing tinnitus and are tinnitus causes.  Although there remains no cure, tinnitus symptoms can be overcome.  RingStop is designed to safely relieve and prevent tinnitus and ear noise symptoms.

It is fact that the cochlea "transforms" sound vibrations into nerve impulses. Your question is complicated by the fact that the auditory nerve is a part of the cochlea.  The cochlea is the best answer but not as clear cut as other people may present it.\n\nThe ganglia (collection of nerve cell bodies) of the auditory nerve is found in the spiral ganglion of the cochlea.  These auditory nerve's dendrites are a part of the organ of Corti thus complicating the question.  If you really want to get specific, there are these cells in the Organ of Corti called hair cells.  These cells are the ones that transmit vibrations of the basilar membrane to the dendrites of the auditory nerve.  Thus the auditory nerve itself is not the primary sensor of the vibrations, but it is only one cell away!

It lodges around your ear drum...like the first person said...it usually stays in your canal...until it ether evaporates or you pump it out

The fluid which prevents brain from mechanical shocks is cerebrospinal fluid which is a clear bodily fluid that occupies the subarachnoid space in the brain (the space between the skull and the cerebral cortex—more specifically, between the arachnoid and pia layers of the meninges). It is basically a saline solution and acts as a "cushion" or buffer for the cortex.
