The cochlea is a thick, snail-like design of two and three-quarter turns, which lies sideways and houses the organ of Corti. Its twisting canal changes long from 29mm to 40mm and is separated into three compartments by parts of bone and layer. The upper (scala tympani) and lower (scala vestibule) compartments are loaded up with a liquid called perilymph; the center compartment (scala media) is loaded up with a liquid called endolymph. How We Hear? The organ of Corti is situated on the lower layer (basilar film) of the scala media and comprises cells with hair-like projections, associating with the terminal finishes of the hear-able nerve. Every projection reacts to various sound frequencies, with high frequencies situated at its base and low frequencies towards the tip of the twisting canal (Hussain, 2016). The primary transform of the canal swells into the center ear and is known as the projection; the diagram of this can frequently be seen when seeing the tympanic film with a micro
