The correct path for sound to travel from the outer ear to the brain is: pinna (the outer part of the ear that we can see, which captures sound waves), acoustic nerve (which carries the sound information from the cochlea to the brain), thalamus (a relay station in the brain for sensory information), and finally the primary auditory cortex (where the brain processes auditory information).
