The ascending auditory pathway goes from the inner hair cells to Type I auditory nerve fibers, which then project to the ipsilateral cochlear nucleus. From there, the signal can travel to higher auditory centers in the brain. The contralateral cochlear nucleus and contralateral inferior colliculus are also part of the ascending auditory pathway, but they are not the next step after the Type I auditory nerve fibers.
