Best Answer

The inner ear comprise of three intimately related structures - the cochlea (spiral tube), three semicircular canals and the vestibule (labyrinth). The cochlea is directly responsible for hearing and contains nerves responsible for converting energy vibrations within the inner ear fluid into nerve impulses which can be transmitted to the brain. While the vestibule (labyrinth) and semicircular canals function to maintain balance or equilibrium.
