What is the correct order of the process of hearing?
Here are 6 basic steps to how we hear: Sound transfers into the ear canal and causes the eardrum to move. The eardrum will vibrate with vibrates with the different sounds. These sound vibrations make their way through the ossicles to the cochlea. Sound vibrations make the fluid in the cochlea travel like ocean waves.
How is sound processed in the ear step by step?
How humans hear
- Step 1: Sound waves enter the ear. When a sound occurs, it enters the outer ear, also referred to as the pinna or auricle.
- Step 2: Sound moves through the middle ear. Behind the eardrum is the middle ear.
- Step 3: Sound moves through the inner ear (the cochlea)
- Step 4: Your brain interprets the signal.
What is the proper sequence of events that occurs in the ear when sound waves hit the tympanic membrane?
Once the sound waves reach the tympanic membrane, it begins to vibrate and they enter into the middle ear. 4. The vibrations are transmitted further into the ear via three bones (ossicles): malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and the stapes (stirrup).
What are the eight steps of hearing?
Terms in this set (8)
- sound waves enter external ear, directed to TM.
- air molecs under pressure cause the TM to vibrate, moving the malleus.
- the malleus strikes the incus, causing it to vibrate.
- the vibrating incus moves the stapes in and out, vibrating the oval window.
How do we process auditory information?
Many small neurons located in the brain are responsible for the processing of auditory information. Once the hair fibres of the cochlea, the snail shell-resembling organ of the inner ear, have sent electrical signals to the auditory nerve, these impulses are transferred to the auditory centre of the brain.
What is the first order neuron in the auditory pathway?
Illustration of the afferent auditory reflex pathway. The fibers of the cochlear nerve originate from an aggregation of nerve cell bodies in the spiral ganglion, located in the modiolus of the cochlea. The neurons of the spiral ganglion are the first of 4 order neurons between the cochlea and the cerebrum.
Which is the correct order in which sound travels through the ear?
Correct order in which sound travels in the inner ear. 1)endolymph of cochlear duct. (2)round window (3)perilymph of scala vestibule (4)vestibular membrane (5)oval window (6)perilymph of scala tympani (7) basilar membrane.

How are sound waves equalized in the middle ear?
The Eustachian tube, which opens into the middle ear, is responsible for equalizing the pressure between the air outside the ear and that within the middle ear. The sound waves enter the inner ear and then into the cochlea, a snail-shaped organ. The cochlea is filled with a fluid that moves in response to the vibrations from the oval window.
Where does the sound come from in the ear?
It collects sound waves and channels them into the ear canal (external auditory meatus), where the sound is amplified. The sound waves then travel toward a flexible, oval membrane at the end of the ear canal called the eardrum, or tympanic membrane.
