The vibration of these bones causes the fluid inside the cochlea to move, mimicking the sound waves in the air outside the ear. If you unrolled a mouse cochlea, it would be about 6 millimeters long, ...

In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea — the spiral-shaped organ that turns sound into electrical signals — is ...

But whether it's the sound of chickens or my beautiful voice, it all enters your ear through the cochlea, a shell-like structure in the inner ear. Inside the cochlea there are over 16,000 hairlike ...

There are two and a half turns in the human cochlea and if you were to unwind the cochlea it would stretch to nearly an inch in length. By winding itself in a spiral, the organ takes up less space.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking use of terahertz (THz) imaging to visualize cochlear structures in mice, offering non-invasive, high-resolution diagnostics. By creating 3D reconstructions ...
