Sample QuestionOur Ears Description Our ears allow us to hear sounds of all types: the voices of our family and friends, the music we like, the sounds of nature, the noises of the city. As well, our ears help us to keep our balance and warn us of danger. The part of our head that we call the ear is only the outer part of the organ of hearing. The ear has three parts. Sound passes through the outer ear to the middle ear, which picks up the vibrations of the sound and transfers it to the inner ear. Here they are changed into nerve signals that travel to the brain. The brain translates the nerve signals and tells us what sound we are hearing. We measure sound in decibels. The sound of this page turning might be about thirty (30) decibels. While the concert your big sister attended last night could have measured an ear-splitting one hundred (100) decibels! Our inner ear helps us to keep our balance. It has a number of semicircular canals that contain fluid, and this fluid moves when we move. Information about the fluid's movement is carried to the brain by nerves. The brain makes sense of this information and then sends messages to the muscles we need to keep our balance. Have you noticed that a cat can move its ears and point them towards a sound? This is because a cat must be constantly on-guard against danger and needs to know the direction from which a sound comes. Our ears don't move in the same way. Can you think why? It is because we don't need to protect ourselves in the same way. So, our ears can sit close to our heads and not move all around. True or False? Our ears pick up sound vibrations.
