Description: The steps in the hearing process. (1) Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through the ear canal. (2) Sound waves vibrate the ear drum. (3) The vibrations now vibrate the auditory ossicles in the middle ear. (4) Pressure waves created by stapes transfer to the oval window, causing cochlea fluid to vibrate hairlike nerve cells. (5) Vibrations travel through the cochlear duct. (6) Signals travel to the brain’s auditory center via the auditory nerves.
