Best Answer

The cochlea is not a bone. It is a fluid filled tube in the ear that has tiny hairs. When a vibration, or sound, travels through the cochlea, the hairs move, which triggers nerves connected to the base of each hair to send a signal to the brain, allowing us to perceive sounds. However, there are two tiny bones in the ear which transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea. These bones are referred to as the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup.
