The region of the ear that funnels sounds is called the Pinna. The Pinna collects sounds and acts like a funnel.
The external pinna, also known as the auricle, is the visible part of the ear that directs sound waves into the ear canal. It plays a role in collecting and amplifying sound before it reaches the middle and inner ear.
We hear by molucles bumping into each other which creates sound waves from vibration, which then travels into our ears...its all complicated after that :P xx
The outer ear, specifically the pinna and ear canal, collects sound waves or vibrations from the atmosphere and directs them towards the middle ear.
The pinna, also known as the auricle, helps collect and direct sound waves into the ear canal. It also assists in localizing the source of sounds.

The pinna (external ear) collects the sound and channels the sound into the ear canal.
The region of the ear that funnels sounds is called the Pinna. The Pinna collects sounds and acts like a funnel.
Sound waves are 'collected' by the ear drum. This is a film stretched across the ear canal. Much like it's namesake, it responds to sound waves by vibrating. These vibrations are read as electrical signals by your nerves, and it is transmitted to brain as impulses.
The fleshy part of the outer ear collects the sounds and pulls them in to the canal and closer to the ear drum where they bounce off and reflect the sound back to the part of the brain that tells you ears to hear.
We use our ears to hear sounds. The ear collects sound waves, which are then transmitted as electrical signals to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain interprets these signals as sounds.
Well, ear defenders absorbs the sound from going to your ear, if you don't wear ear defenders when your working in loud noises your ear can be damage.
The external pinna, also known as the auricle, is the visible part of the ear that directs sound waves into the ear canal. It plays a role in collecting and amplifying sound before it reaches the middle and inner ear.
The outer ear collects and funnels sound waves to the eardrum, where vibrations are carried into the middle ear.
the correct answer is : ear canal or you could just write canal if you are doing a sheet/ homework sheet called: 8LD(4) Ear diagram- then write ear canal, if not then choose between; ear canal and canal
