  • How We Hear: From Soundwave to Brainwave

    The human auditory process is a complex and fascinating sequence of events that transforms sound waves into meaningful neural signals interpreted by the brain. Sound begins as pressure waves in the air, entering the outer ear and causing vibrations in the eardrum, which are then transmitted to the ossicles in the middle ear. These tiny bones amplify the vibrations and transfer them to the fluid-filled cochlea in the inner ear. Within the cochlea, hair cells convert these mechanical movements into...

  • Inside The Ear: How Hearing and The Ear Works

    This article explores the intricate workings of our ears and hearing health through a series of animated videos created in collaboration with GN. It explains how sound travels from the outside world to the brain, illustrates what hearing loss looks like during and after damage, examines the causes of ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and demonstrates where earwax comes from. The project aims to raise awareness about hearing wellness and protect future generations from preventable hearing loss cause...
