The vestibular system in the inner ear. It's responsible for the sensations of balance and motion. It uses the same kinds of fluids and detection hair cells as the cochlea uses, and sends information to the brain about the attitude, rotation, and linear motion of the head. The type of motion or attitude detected by a hair cell depends on its associated mechanical structures, such as the curved tube of a semicircular canal or the calcium carbonate crystals (otolith) of the saccule and utricle

Why do ears help us?

They help us with hearing, and balance. They serve as great tools for one of the humans amazing 5 senses...... with hearing they help as filttering cups, you could say. Your ears... the pinna(outer part) funnels sound into the external auditory canal, a short tube that ends at the eardrum(tympanic membrane) where the sound comes together and you then hear it. Have you ever cupped your hand behind your ear? notice how everything is louder and you can hear much more?! Think of your ears as your hand, and what your hand was doing for your ears is what your ear does for you...... with balance that's what your equilibrium in your inner ear is for....The fluid-filled semicircular canals (labyrinth) attach to the spiral-shaped cochlea and nerves in the inner ear. They send information on balance and head position to the brain. The eustachian (auditory) tube drains fluid from the middle ear into the throat (pharynx) behind the nose.
