1. How Exactly Does My Hearing Work
A lot of people may not realize just how
amazing their ears really are. They
work to pick up all the sounds within
your environment and then turn the
sounds into a form of information that
your brain is able to comprehend.
One of the most astounding things about the transformation is
that it is entirely mechanical. Your individual sense of smell,
vision and taste all occur with a chemical reaction, but your sense
of hearing works entirely through physical movements.
In order to understand how your ears are able to hear sounds,
you need to be able to understand what sound is beforehand.
Whenever an object vibrates within matter it produces a sound. It
could be a solid, a liquid or a gas.
However, the majority of the time, we are able to hear the
sounds that are traveling throughout the air. As something
vibrates within the atmosphere, it moves the particles of air
around it.

2. In an attempt to look at how this process works, first think about
how a simple vibration works. If you were to hit a bell, the metal
would vibrate by flexing in and out.
Whenever it flexes on one of the sides it ends up pushing all the
surrounding air particles on the one side. All of those particles will
then collide with the particles that are already in front of them,
which collide with all the particles that are in front of them, and
the chain reaction continues creating compression.
It is in this way that vibrating objects are able to send waves of
fluctuating pressure throughout the atmosphere. We are able to
hear multiple types of sounds from varying objects due to the
variations of the frequencies for the sound waves.
Higher frequency waves mean that there is a larger amount of
fluctuation in the air pressure and it is able to switch back and
forth at a quicker rate.
This sound is interpreted as a higher pitch. However, when there
are not as many fluctuations over a specified period of time the
pitch comes across as lower. The amplitude is what determines
the amount of air pressure and the level of sound.
