Organ of Hearing and Balance

The organ of hearing and balance (OSA) is a paired organ located in the head that allows us to perceive sounds and control the balance of the body. This organ plays an important role in our lives, as it helps us navigate space, communicate with other people and maintain balance while moving.

The hearing organ is a complex system consisting of many structures, including the outer and middle ear, inner ear, and auditory nerve. The outer ear consists of the pinna and external auditory canal, and the middle ear includes the eardrum, malleus, incus and stapes. The inner ear contains a hollow bony structure known as the cochlea, which contains sound-sensitive hairs called sensory cells. When sound waves hit these hairs, they convert them into electrical signals, which are then transmitted along the auditory nerve to the brain.

The hearing organs work together with the balance organs to maintain balance and orientation in space. Balance is our brain's ability to determine our position in space through our muscles and joints. The balance organs include the vestibular, auditory and visual apparatuses. The hearing aid is located in the pyramids of the temporal bones, and the auditory system includes the auricular muscles and semicircular canals in the three membranes of our organs.

Impairment of hearing and balance functions can be caused by various factors, such as nerve conduction disorders, degeneration of brain tissue, head injuries, viral
