Sense organs
Looks like
A set of fluid-filled coils and chambers carved into the dense temporal bone, the size of a pea.
What it does
Turns sound into nerve signals and senses head movement and balance.
Keeping it well
Loud noise damages it for good; hearing protection matters. Sudden hearing loss in one ear needs same-day assessment as steroids work best early.
