What is "cochlea"?
The cochlea is a crucial sensory organ in the inner ear, resembling a snail shell, and is responsible for translating sound waves into electrical impulses. It contains delicate hair cells that detect different frequencies of sound, allowing us to perceive a wide range of auditory sensations, from low-pitched sounds to high-pitched tones. The cochlea plays a vital role in our ability to hear and interpret sounds in our environment.
