The ear captures sound waves and the brain interprets them as sounds. The statement is true.
The ear is fragmented into three different parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Sound waves goes from the outer ear and in, they travel through the auditory canal, making the eardrum vibrate. This in turn causes three small bones in the middle ear to move. The vibrations move through the fluid in the cochlea in the inner ear, stimulating thousands of tiny hair cells. This turns the vibrations into electrical impulses, which are perceived by the brain as sound.
