The hearing organ in mammals is a spiraling structure called the "cochlea" from the Greek word for snail. It spirals out from the saccule (one of the balance organs). There are two and a half turns in ...

The illustration shows a cross-section of part of the cochlea, the fluid-filled part of the inner ear that converts vibrations from incoming sounds into nerve signals that travel to the brain via ...

In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea ...

The non-invasive method could open new possibilities for diagnosing hearing loss and other ear-related conditions. "Hearing relies on the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that ...

The cochlea is key to human hearing, and it plays an important role in our understanding of complex frequency content. The Visual Ear project aims to illustrate the cochlear mechanism as an ...

Sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. Three small bones transmit these vibrations to the cochlea. These bones transmit most efficiently frequencies of 1 kHz to 3 kHz.

Hearing relies on the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves into neural signals. Any structural or functional impairment of the cochlea can lead to hearing loss ...
