hammer,anvil,eardrum,cochlea

Answer 1

Sound waves first strike the eardrum, which begins the process that allows us to hear by transmitting vibrations through the middle ear bones to the cochlea.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound waves entering the ear first strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum vibrates in response to the sound waves, and these vibrations are then passed through a series of small bones in the middle ear, namely the hammer (malleus), the anvil (incus), and finally the stirrup (stapes). The vibrations reaching the eardrum are the initial step in the hearing process that will eventually lead to sounds being processed as auditory information in the brain.

Answer 2

I believe it is the Eardrum, Hammer, Anvil then Cochlea.
