Abstract: The cochlea, found deep in the inner ear, detects sounds using an elaborately tuned basilar membrane. This membrane divides the cochlea lengthways into two fluid-filled compartments. To find out how fluid dynamics in these compartments affect hearing, scientists would like to measure the fluid flow and, although technically difficult, this has finally been done.
