Are there organisms that don't convert sound energy in order for it to hear the noise?

I’ll try to simplify this as best as I can. If it isn’t as clear as I’m thinking, just ask & I’ll try again.

Our ears convert sound energy into mechanical energy & then into electrical impulses for the brain.

Are there any organisms that don’t need to convert sound energy in order for the noise to be heard?
