The Auditory Pathway is a very complex pathway of how sound gets translated to auditory information. It first goes through the ear canal and hits the tymphatic membrane. Due to this hit, the tymphatic membrane vibrates. Then the vibrations from the tymphatic membrane proceed to the malleus, which pushes the incus, which pushes the stapes. The base of the stapes vibrates against the oval window. This vibration agitates the paralymph in the bony labyrinth. The perilymph transmits these vibrations to the Organ of Corti. The Organ of Corti has hair cells that make the movement of these hairs turn to nerve impulses. These impulses trave through the first order neurons (from Organ of Corti to Lateral Lemniscus)then to the second order neurons
