6 steps of the hearing process |
1. Waves strike tympanic membrane 2. Vibrates auditory ossicles 3. Stapes applies pressure to perilymph of Scala vestibuli 4. Pressure distorts basilar membrane 5. Movement of basilar membrane vibrates hair cells against tectorial membrane, altering neurotransmitter release 6. Impulse travels to CNS |
