Answering the question, the process of transducing air pressure waves into neural messages that the brain interprets as the meaningful sound is known as Audition.

In humans, hearing is performed by the auditory system known as mechanical waves. The mechanical waves are also called vibrations. These vibrations are perceived by the air and are transduced to nerves impulses which are detected or perceived by the brain

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Audition is also called hearing; it refers to the transduction of sound waves into neutral messages or signals which is made possible by the ear’s structure.

The auricle, which is fleshy and very large is and is located within the lateral aspect of the head. The auricle is also called pinna. The auricle has C-like shapes and it is responsible for directing sound waves to the auditory canal.

The auditory canal gets into the skull via the external auditory meatus within the temporal bones. Also, the tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum is located towards the end of the auditory canal and does vibrate whenever it is struck by sound waves.

However, the eardrum (tympanic membrane), auricles and ear canal are classified as the eternal ear.

Therefore, the process of transducing air pressure waves into neural messages that the brain interprets as a meaningful sound is called audition.

Hearing.

The process of hearing starts by pressure waves that are captured by our ears and taken inside the ear by the ear canal reaching firstly the ear drum. The ear drum then vibrates according to the pressure waves that were captured making the acicular (a set of 3 little bones) enter in motion. This vibrations then move from the acicular to the inner ear. Within the inner ear we can find the cochlea which is where this mechanical waves are converted into electrical signals and then passed to the brain. The auditory cortex of the brain then interprets this signals as sounds and gives them meaning.
