The Organ of Corti (in the inner ear) rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
The inner ear includes the three semicircular canals. They (plus the base of each called the ampullaris) are involved in:
1. Static Equilibrium in the ampulla which contains the sense for position of head when body is not moving.
2. Dynamic Equilibrium in the semicircular canals which senses rotation and movement of head and body.
The cochlea structure consists of three adjacent tubes separated from each other by sensitive membranes.

Hearing and balance. The ear doesnt control anything, it is a sensory organ only. It does though sense sound and gravitational pull, the senses of hearing and balance. The information is receives is relayed to the brain which controls movements to adjust balance.
What are the hearing receptors most closely associated with?
The balance organs are the sensors in the body closest to the hearing organs. Sometimes referred to as 'vestibular organs' for they lie alongside the vestibule in the ear.
