Eardrum is vibrated by air pressure. This moves middle ear bones which vibrate basilar membrane. Membrane contains hair-like structures that convert motion into electrical current. Current is passed into auditory nerve which carries it to the brain.
In cochlear implants, sound is picked up by microphone and converted into electrical signals that vary in frequency and amplitude. Discrete electrodes along implant are energized by control system and the current is driven through modiolus into auditory nerve.

Brain.
It's converted from sound waves to electrical impulses by the cochlea; the nerve signals travel to the brain; there it is perceived and processed.

Ears - and all the pieces in your ear - they generate vibrations that your brain can understand to be "noise"
