Question

What is the first step in the hearing process?

Sound passes the middle ear and goes to the cochlea, or inner ear.
Sound travels through the inner ear to the ear drum.
Sound is collected by the outer ear (the part we can see).
The cochlea sends electrical messages to the brain.

Answer 1

Sound is collected by the outer ear (the part we can see).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Sound is collected by the outer ear (the part we can see).

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one begins when the outer ear captures the sound and then moves it further through the ear canal where it meets the outer layer of the eardrum.

It means that the outer sound wave travels to the eardrum and causes the movement of it.

After these two steps, the sounds move to the cochlea, the inner ear.
