How fast does sound travel through your ear?

Technically sound is classified as a vibration of the air, so if there is a sound traveling through it, it travels at the speed of sound, which is 768 mph. The inner parts of the ear will be slower. The auditory ossicles are mechanical, so they will delay the sound accordingly, a small fraction of a second. Then when the auditory nerve is stimulated to send its message to the temporal lobe of the brain, it follows a myelinated path along the axons and can travel up to 200 mph.
