The human ear is a complex organ responsible for both hearing and balance.

(a) Describe the process by which sound vibrations from the air are transmitted through the outer and middle ear to the inner ear, detailing the role of each major structure involved in the pathway.

(b) Explain how the mechanical vibrations in the inner ear are converted into electrical nerve impulses that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.
