The ear is divided into three intercon-necting sections: external, middle and inner ears (Fig 1). While the external and middle ears are mainly concerned with the trans-mission of sound, the inner ear contains the cochlea – often called the organ of hearing – and also houses the body’s organ of balance.

The Human Ear – The Inner Ear. Inner Ear • The Inner Ear has 2 main functions, to convert sound waves into electrical signals for the brain and to maintain balance by detecting position and motion. • The inner ear has 3 main parts, the cochlear, the semi-circular canals and the vestibule.
There are three anatomical components to the human ear: the external, middle, and inner ear. The inner ear is a complex system found within a hollow cavity of the temporal bone of the human skull known as the bony labyrinth.
The human ear is divided into three parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. Defects in outer and middle ear can cause conductive hearing loss, while the defective inner ear may lead to sensorineural hearing loss. So, it is important to study the structure and physiology of the human ear.
The human hearing system consists of two ears, located on the left and right sides of the head, the vestibulocochlear nerve, and the central auditory nervous system (CANS) – consisting of auditory centers in the brain and the connecting pathways in the brainstem.
