For the most part the Ear does not contain any fluid, the Outer and Middle Ear are air filled this is why we have the pharyngotympanic tube. The inner ear however is very complicated and difficult to explain. It has two Labyrinths, the Bony Labyrinth and, suspended within the bony labyrinth, the Memranous Labarynth. These labyrinths make up the shapes most people know as the Cochlea and the Semi-Circular Canals (both labyrinth types are present in each). The membranous labarynth contains a fluid called Endolymph and the Bony cavity contains a similar fluid called Perilymph.

Can you see fluid in ear?
The fluids in the ear are the very way in which we hear. Hearing is broken down when sound waves (noise) enters through the ear and structure like the anvil and hammer. These structures vibrate and send vibrations down to a fluid filled pool that vibrates the fluid. The vibrating waves of the fluid are intercepted by microscopic hairs called cilia (most likely that is the scientific name). These cilia read and transform these vibrations into neurological signals that are then sent to the brain and interpreted.
