You don't need an ear drum to hear, your hearing comes from tiny hairs connected to mechanoreceptors.

Guess what we've found in plants? Tiny hairs (trichomes) connected to mechanoreceptors.

So plants have the nearly the same physical structures that animals use for hearing, but not only that, they also have similar mechanosensitive ion channels too.
