The vestibular apparatus is responsible for the body's sense of balance and spatial orientation, located in the inner ear. The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear that is responsible for hearing, specifically for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret.
The vestibular apparatus, which is located in the inner ear, detects head movements such as a nod through hair cells that respond to changes in acceleration and gravity. When the head nods, the movement is detected by the vestibular system, which helps maintain balance and spatial orientation.
The vestibular nucleus is responsible for "proprioception" or spatial awareness of where your limbs/body is in space and of course aids in balance. It's closely related to your sense of hearing.
The vestibular system and the auditory system each contain structures called maculae. In the vestibular system, the maculae are found in the utricle and saccule of the inner ear and help detect linear acceleration. In the auditory system, the macula is a part of the cochlea and is involved in detecting sound vibrations.
The auditory nerve is formed by the cochlear nerve and the vestibular nerve. The cochlear nerve is responsible for transmitting auditory information from the cochlea to the brain, while the vestibular nerve is responsible for transmitting information related to balance and spatial orientation.
Vestibulocochlear is the term for the nerve that carries sound and balance information to the brain from the ear.

The vestibular apparatus in the middle ear.
Vestibular apparatus from the middle ear is mainly responsible for balance.
The basilar membrane separates the cochlear duct (scala media) from the tympanic duct (scala tympani) in the cochlea.

The cochlea is the portion of the ear that contains the sense organs for hearing. The vestibular system, which includes the semicircular canals and otolithic organs, is responsible for balance and spatial orientation.
A small, oval chamber called the vestibule lies between the semicircular canals and the cochlea. It contains the utricle and the saccule along with parts of the vestibular labyrinth. An oval window is on its lateral wall.
The terminal acoustic apparatus in the cochlea of the inner ear is the organ of Corti. It is responsible for translating sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. The organ of Corti contains hair cells that are crucial for auditory function.
