👉 The hear fluid, also known as perilymph, is a critical component of the inner ear's labyrinth, specifically residing in the scala vestibuli and scala tympani. It is a clear, colorless fluid that plays a vital role in maintaining balance and hearing by providing a medium for the transmission of sound waves and mechanical movements. Composed primarily of water, electrolytes, and proteins, perilymph supports the function of the sensory cells in the cochlea, enabling the conversion of sound vibrations into neural signals that the brain can interpret. This fluid also helps maintain the pressure balance within the inner ear, ensuring optimal function of the delicate structures involved in auditory and vestibular processes.
