In today's episode, we explore how hearing really works... from vibrating sound waves and the eardrum, to the tiny middle-ear bones, to the fluid-filled cochlea and its hair cells that send signals along the auditory nerve to your brain! We discuss why ear protection is important, too!

Curious Kids Every Day is a daily, interactive podcast that respects your child’s intelligence and curiosity. Each episode is designed to stretch young attention spans with thoughtful questions, playful learning, and engaging games. I created this to be a show I would be happy to have my kids listen to.
