Sound waves must be relayed to the inner ear after reaching the eardrum first. Next, the cochlea must focus the vibrations on the basilar membrane. Then, this basilar membrane will transform the vibrations into neural impulses. Finally, these impulses will reach the auditory cortex in the temporal lobes for higher-order processing.
