Incomplete answer. Try again.

Snakes identify movements mainly due to vibrations from the ground or surrounding air. The part of the body that is in direct contact with the ground is quite sensitive to vibration. The skin, muscles and bones help carry the sound waves to the inner ears. The sound waves from the air hit their skin and are transferred from the muscles to the bones. The sound reaches the ear bone which is under the skull. These sound vibrations are sent to the inner ear and the brain processes these vibrations in the inner ear. Thus vibrations pass from the ground through their muscles to the bones and finally to the brain. This way they hear sound.

I'm sorry..

Becalina:
Their skulls vibrate to sounds, i.e vibrating skulls aided with vestige and they recognise intensity of sounds, this is a specialised way of hearing, it works together with sensitivity

Omenka First female to answer

First female to answer is not the answer to the question madam... I guess u are seeking for compensation

Just modify as you said.

The question is not very clear.

Omenka, i stand with ''JAW''. Whats my fate?

Certain bones in a snake's head respond to sound waves and transmit them to the inner ear. A
snake's tongue has few taste buds. It is used with an organ of smell called the Jacobson's organ , which, along with the nostrils, provides snakes with a keen sense of smell.

Not quite what we are looking for. If you say the skin, the complementary organ would therefore be what exactly?

Check my new answer if am correct

How Snakes Hear As previously mentioned, snakes do not have external ears (pinnae) or eardrums like we have but they do have fully formed inner ear structures. In addition to their inner ear structures they have a bone called the quadrate bone in their jaw.
