NOTE: Outer air cells of the ear gather the sound and send it to the inner cells (which are about 15000) and snail-like, cone shaped tube forming a portion of the inner ear called “cochlea”. Cochlea is the receptor for hearing and it passes the signals to the brain producing hearing. The hearing loss is mostly “sensory neural” and is caused by aging, loud noises, injuries or blows to the ear.
