Ear

When sound waves reach your ear, your ear canal channels them to your eardrum. Special glands in your ear canal produce wax, which helps keep the canal clean and fights bacteria. Ear wax traps dust particles that are removed from the ear canal (along with the wax) by an amazing conveyorbelt mechanism.

The sound waves cause the smallest bones in your body to vibrate. These bones in your middle ear are called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup because of the way they are shaped. They are the same size today as on the day you were born!

Once your brain translates the sound waves, you can hear what your mom is saying! The same God who designed your ears also hears you when you pray to him (Psalms 94:9)!
