Sadly, your view is too simplistic.
The ear is mearly a fleshy protective covering.
How we listen to anything:
Sound waves cause the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to vibrate. The three bones in the ear (malleus, incus, stapes) pass these vibrations on to the cochlea. The cochlea is a snail-shaped, fluid-filled structure in the inner ear. Inside the cochlea is another structure called the organ of Corti. Hair cells are located on the basilar membrane of the cochlea. The cilia (the hair) of the hair cells make contact with another membrane called the tectorial membrane. When the hair cells are excited by vibration, a nerve impulse is generated in the auditory nerve. These impulses are then sent to the brain.
No one can argue the 3 laws of thermodynamics.
