A) The cochlea contains the receptors for hearing.
B) The auditory bones, in the order they vibrate, are the malleus, incus, and stapes.
D) The eardrum is at the end of the ear canal.
H) The auditory areas are in the temporal lobes.

C is incorrect because the nerves for hearing and equilibrium are the eighth cranial nerves. 
E is incorrect because the hair cells in the organ of Corti are receptors for hearing, not movement of the head. 
F is incorrect because the hair cells in the semicircular canals respond to rotational movement, not gravity. 
G is incorrect because the air pressure in the middle ear cavity is regulated by the eustachian tube, not the mastoid sinus.
