The fluids in the ear are the very way in which we hear. Hearing is broken down when sound waves (noise) enters through the ear and structure like the anvil and hammer. These structures vibrate and send vibrations down to a fluid filled pool that vibrates the fluid. The vibrating waves of the fluid are intercepted by microscopic hairs called cilia (most likely that is the scientific name). These cilia read and transform these vibrations into neurological signals that are then sent to the brain and interpreted.

These labyrinths make up the shapes most people know as the Cochlea and the Semi-Circular Canals (both labyrinth types are present in each). The membranous labarynth contains a fluid called Endolymph and the Bony cavity contains a similar fluid called Perilymph.

What does it mean when you feel fluid in ear?
Well it could mean you just have water in your ear sometimes referred to as swimmers ear but, this usually happens when you are in the water a lot. For instance, spending a lot of time at the beach or the pool. It could also mean you have an ear infection. You should see a doctor to see if you need antibiotics. If you have had a sinus infection or an ear infection, it can cause fluid to build up behind the ear drum (the inner ear). Antibiotics will usually clear it up, but there are times when it doesn't. In that situation, your ENT (ear, nose and throat doctor) will put tubes or 'buttons' in the ear to allow the fluid to drain. This is much more common in children, but also occurs in adults, too, even people in their 50's and older, even if they've never had tubes in their ear before.
