The site of hearing was now known to be in the cochlea.

The word 'cochlea' is used mostly by health professionals and people discussing ear-related issues.

Medical Context

'Cochlea' refers to a part of the ear that you can't see without medical equipment.

Pronounced 'kok-lee-uh', it may be confused with 'cochlear', which is related but not the same.

 It's acoustic vibrations in the air, little waves of energy in the air that tickle our eardrum. Somehow in tickling our eardrum that transmits energy down our hearing bones, which get converted to a fluid impulse inside the cochlea and then somehow converted into an electrical signal in our auditory nerves

 Today, roughly one in seven people worldwide experiences this auditory sensation. So where does this persistent sound come from? When you normally hear something, sound waves hit various areas of your ear, creating vibrations that displace fluid inside the cochlea.

 it's a little partition that comes and protects your inner ear each time you produce a sound. So it also reduces what you hear. And then there is a third filter, it's a biological filter. Your cochlea -- it's a part of your inner ear that processes the sound --

 To understand how that works, we can follow a sound on its journey into the ear. The source of a sound creates vibrations that travel as waves of pressure through particles in air, liquids, or solids. But our inner ear, called the cochlea,

 Now, to understand how the hair cell does its thing, one has to situate it within its environment within the ear. We learn in school that the organ of hearing is the coiled, snail-shaped cochlea. It's an organ about the size of a chickpea.

 our ears have evolved to process vibrations in the air. These waves of air pressure enter our ear canals and bounce off the eardrum. A trio of bones called the ossicular chain then carries those vibrations into the cochlea,
