Science: Our amazing ears!
Vibrations in the air (sound wave) is caused by the vibrations of objects and travels into our ears. Look at the structure of the ear below. When the vibrations in the air enter the ear, they cause the eardrum to vibrate, which in turns passes the vibrations to the small bones inside the ear. The vibrations then cause the fluid inside the cochlear to move the small hairs inside, which send messages to the brain. These are interpreted as sounds.
Many animals with exceptional hearing have big ears. For example, bats, which rely on sound to help navigate in the dark, have extremely large ears on their small heads. Many animals move their ears to collect sounds and some have large ears to help collect the sounds like an ear trumpet.
