If sound can’t travel through space, why can you hear in spaceships?

This probably sounds like a dumb question but I would really appreciate some help! I am very very interested in space but I don’t understand complex topics very well because of my learning disability. When I tried to google this I really couldn’t understand the explanations 🙁 thank you if anyone responds, I really appreciate it!!

Edit: thank you all for responding so helpfully and so quickly, its so nice to not be talked down to for not understanding things

Inside the ship you have brought Earth atmosphere with you. There is oxygen and nitrogen that can be compressed to make sound waves that hit your eardrum and make sounds. Outside the ship there’s no Earth atmosphere. No oxygen, no anything that can be compressed into sound waves and hit your eardrum.
