Cochlea.
The medical term for pertaining to sensory receptors for hearing is "auditory" and the medical term for pertaining to sensory receptors for balance is "vestibular."
The balance organs are the sensors in the body closest to the hearing organs. Sometimes referred to as 'vestibular organs' for they lie alongside the vestibule in the ear.
in the spiral organ which is located in the cochlea of the inner ear
The cochlea; sound wave are transferred through the ear canal and vibrated the ear drum which is connected to the cochlea and amplified the sound wave. When the sound wave reached the cochlea, sound wave is converted into nerve impulse and transferred through the nerve to the brain. Receptor is a converter of stimulus to electrical nerve impulse ; cochlea converted sound wave into nerve impulse and so cochlea is the sensory receptor of the ear.
It is the Vestibular System, a series of fluid filled tubes in the inner ear that connect with each other and the cochlear duct containing hair cells that detect changes in motion.

In the mammalian ear the sensory receptors (hair cells) for hearing are in the cochlea and for ballance are in the semicircular canals. Both the cochlea and semicircular canals are part of the inner ear.inner

Hair cell
The inner ear is made up of multiple parts to amplify sound and to determine sound frequencies. The Cochlea is a spiral shaped portion of the inner ear which contains tiny "hair cells" which are the actual sensory receptors. Repeated loud noises can actually damage or destroy these hair cells causing permanent hearing loss.The ear also is used for balance, using a portion of the ear called the vestibule or vestibular system. This also has hair cells for sensory receptors that are triggered by motion.
In the inner ear.
Hearing and balance receptors are found in the ear.

The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
In the inner ear, is a spiral organ called the cochlea, and this liquid filled organ is tapered and along its length are a large number of small sensory hairs. These small hairs cause a signal to be generated in the cell supporting the hair and this we interpret as sound.
