What happens to sound inside us

[Analogous]

I came across this well made animation that explains what happens to sound waves once they enter our ears.

What happens outside (source, conversion, amplification, cables, speakers, rooms and a thousand other details) our heads are extensively discussed in audio forums.

The fascinating world of what happens inside us is less discussed. Tweaks are also less easy/possible inside our skulls.

Have a look and marvel at the complexity and wonderful evolution that makes our hobby/passion possible.

Addendum:
A friend of mine points out tweaks are possible inside our brains too.
Mood enhancement/alteration can be done in a variety of ways. Though the reverse is probably more common: good quality, preferred music enhances mood.
Context matters. A lot.
And dare I open a can of worms.....how about psycho-acoustics.
Trying to find a YouTube video that explains all this too.

One of the things I noticed (in the video) was the similarity in shape between the cochlea (where the sound sensing seems to happen) and a horn!

Or a type of seashell

Here are a couple of links if you would like to delve more into the cochlear mysteries.

The cochlea (auditory inner ear) is the organ of hearing and is connected to the basilar membrane and the organ of Corti, creating our ability to hear.

You could always subject yourself to some acoustic 'treatment' with various liquids in moderate amounts.

Haha. Not a coincidence horn speakers are preferred by a huge chunk of nitpicking purists.

Yes brother, it’s all part of (but not exclusively) and about setting the context.
