The cochlea is responsible for hearing and is filled with fluid. When the oval window vibrates the fluid in the inner ear moves around. The membrane inside the cochlea has different levels of thickness and the vibrations have different frequency and correspond to different pitches of sound that the ear interprets. The oval windows vibration frequency is transmitted through the fluid wave within the inner ear. The fluid crosses over the membrane, depending on the frequency and stimulates nerves that transmit a signal to the brain.

How does the cochlea on the ear work?

The cochlea is a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear filled with fluid. When sound waves enter the ear, they cause the fluid in the cochlea to move, stimulating hair cells. These hair cells convert the movement into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where they are processed as sound.
