(b)   The eardrum vibrates and the sound vibration in tranferred to the ear bones (ossicle).
(c)   The ossicles strenghen these vibrations snd convey them to the oval window.
(d)   The vibrations of the oval window cause the fluid in the cochlea to produce nerve impulses.
(e)   The nerve impulses are sent to the brain by the auditory nerve to be interpreted.
