The sound waves travel through the external acoustic meatus (ear canal), tympanic membrane (eardrum), ossicles (three small bones in the middle ear), and oval window (membrane separating the middle and inner ear). This is the correct sequence of structures that sound waves pass through before reaching the inner ear.
