A) The cochlea contains the receptors for hearing.
B) The auditory bones, in the order they vibrate, are the malleus, incus, and stapes.
G) The auditory areas are in the temporal lobes, and both the cerebrum and cerebellum are concerned with equilibrium. 
The other statements are false:
C) The nerves for hearing and equilibrium are the eighth cranial nerves, not the ninth.
D) The hair cells in the organ of Corti detect sound waves, not movement of the head.
E) The four semicircular canals have hair cells that respond to rotational head movements, not gravity.
F) The mastoid sinus is not involved in regulating air pressure in the middle ear cavity.
H) The utricle and saccule have accessory receptors for sensing linear acceleration and position of the head, not hearing low-pitch sounds.
