Balance - they tell your brain which way up you are.
They are the organ of balance.
vestibule, semi-circular canals, and cochlea
You wouldnt be able to stay balanced and would lead to major damage in the auditory canals.
semi-circular canals. These are just for balance
The function of semi circular canal in the ear is balance and orientation
They are a type of motion sensor, as the movements of the cilia are communicated to the brain.

The semi-circular canals are small, fluid-filled structures located in the inner ear, each measuring about 1-2 centimeters in length and only a few millimeters in diameter. There are three semi-circular canals—horizontal, anterior, and posterior—arranged perpendicularly to one another to detect rotational movements of the head. Their size allows them to effectively sense changes in balance and orientation, playing a crucial role in maintaining equilibrium.
Assuming you mean the semi-circular canals in the ear... they help keep us balanced.
semi-circular canals for dynamic equilibrium and vestibule for static equilibrium
The purpose of the semicircular canals in your inner ears are for equillibrium. They have fluid in them that moves when you do and that stimulates hairs inside them that are connected to nerves.
The inner ear consists of the bony labyrinth, a hollow cavity in the temporal bone of the skull with a system of passages comprising two main functional parts: -- the cochlea, dedicated to hearing -- the vestibular system, dedicated to balance The cochlea transforms vibrations into nerve impulses for the brain. On the opposite side of the vestibule are the three semi-circular canals, which provide nerve signals on the motion of the body along 3 axes. There are otolithic structures in the vestibule (called the utricle and saccule) that provide information on the relative position of the head and body.
