About This File
This 3D model of a section through the central spiral of the cochlea provides a highly detailed and anatomically accurate representation of the inner ear's auditory organ. It highlights key features, including the cochlear spiral, organ of Corti, basilar membrane, tectorial membrane, hair cells, and associated nerve fibers.
The model effectively demonstrates the intricate structures involved in the process of sound wave conversion into electrical signals for transmission to the brain via the auditory nerve.
Designed for educational and clinical purposes, this model is an invaluable tool for studying auditory anatomy, understanding hearing mechanisms, and visualizing conditions such as sensorineural hearing loss, cochlear damage, and tinnitus.
Ideal for audiologists, ENT specialists, educators, and students, it supports teaching, training, and patient education by providing a hands-on approach to exploring the structure and function of the cochlea and its role in the auditory system.
