Default Notched 2x10's in center, easiest reinforcement if necessary.

Short story is a previous mentally challenged owner decided for some reason to
move the garage door track up and attach it to the sill on the outer wall
rather than the block provided. In doing so , they notched three 2x10 floor
joists about 1 inch to 2 inches deep in the center of three joists. These
joists are 2x10's and 16 OC, and span 12 feet. Above the garage is a bedroom.
I am curious as to whether there is an easy repair to reinforce these 3
joists, perhaps by gluing/nailing some pywood to the center about 1-2 feet on
either side of the nothces. There is no sagging or cracking and one home
inspector said its not honestly a worry. But I'd prefer to shore it up if
possible before closing the break in the firewall from these morons.. Any
advice on what might be sufficient is appreciated.
