Found in humans and many other vertebrates, the ear includes structures both visible externally and hidden deep within the skull These structures collect sound, convert it into electrical signals, and help regulate spatial orientation

The sound waves enter the inner ear and then into the cochlea, a snail-shaped organ The cochlea is filled with a fluid that moves in response to the vibrations from the oval window
