Auditory Canal
Arrange the following structures of the ear in the order that a sound wave's energy travels through them, from the point it enters the ear to where it is converted into a neural signal.
Hair Cells
An individual is diagnosed with a form of hearing loss where sound waves are effectively collected by the outer ear and amplified by the bones of the middle ear. However, the mechanical energy from these vibrations is not being converted into the electrical signals that the brain can interpret. This specific failure in the conversion process points to a problem within which of the following structures?

Frequency-Specific Hearing Loss
An individual sustains an injury that specifically damages the narrow, stiff base of the basilar membrane, located near the oval window. Based on the physical properties of this structure and how it processes sound waves, which auditory capability would be most directly affected?
