A major portion of the inner ear is the cochlea, which is a fluid-filled canal that transduces a traveling wave from the oval window. The organ of Corti within the cochlea contains two types of hair cells, as well as the basilar and tectorial membranes. The hair cells synapse onto the auditory nerve fibers, which transmit information into the brain.
