So to put this in a question, I would rephrase it to:
How does hearing work?
It's a little tough to ELI5 without using using the names of the particular organs but here goes:
Sound is nothing more than a wave of air pressure. In other words, it fundamentally involves changing degrees of energy-based air pushing and tugging. Additionally, it is because to this that sound cannot travel in a vacuum. When these waves reach your ear, they first come into contact with the "tympanic membrane," which vibrates and transmits these vibrations to the malleus, incus, and stapes, three small bones (Latin for hammer, anvil, and stirrup).
The waves will subsequently be transmitted via the bones' vibrations to the "cochlea," a spiral-shaped organ filled with fluid. The air pressure wave has so undergone many transformations at this point. Air pressure was followed by mechanical vibrations and is now "fluid pressure." The spiral-shaped cochlea is lined with neurons all the way around. Depending on the fluid pressure waves' intensity, frequency, etc., the cochlea will have to travel a particular distance. Based on these fluid waves, these neurons will then activate, sending information to your brain.
Your brain then decodes these messages to produce the "sound" that you hear. Although I'm not convinced this is the greatest ELI5, this is the main idea.
In essence, your ear works as follows:
Air pressure waves enter the ear, transform into mechanical vibrations, transform into fluid pressure waves, which signal neurons and cause those neurons to fire electrical impulses that communicate with the brain the sound you are hearing.

Answer:
Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear. These bones are called the malleus, incus, and stapes.
