The inner ear is the part of the ear is in the temporal bone. It is composed of three parts: the cochlea, vestibule and semicircular canals. It is a center for hearing and balance. The inner ear is connected to the middle ear through the bracket, which transmits sound vibrations to the cochlea to the ear drum are collected via the oval window. Thanks to the internal fluid cochlea (perilimfe and endolymph), acoustic vibrations are converted into acoustic waves, which are processed, in turn, into nerve impulses by the organ of Corti, the last, which is located in the cochlea scala media, contains hair cells that make this possible . Nerve impulses generated by the inner ear that are sent to the occipital lobe of the brain via the auditory nerve.
