		It is called the labyrinth, from the complexity of its shape, and consists of two parts: the osseous labyrinth, a series of cavities within the petrous part of the temporal bone, and the membranous labyrinth, a series of communicating membranous sacs and ducts, contained within the bony cavities.
		On the inner side of the inner rods is a single row of hair cells, and on the outer side of the outer rods three or four rows of similar cells, together with certain supporting cells termed the cells of Deiters and Hensen.
		—The arteries of the labyrinth are the internal auditory, from the basilar, and the stylomastoid, from the posterior auricular.

	eMedicine - Inner Ear, Labyrinthitis : Article Excerpt by: Mark E Boston, MD
		Background: Labyrinthitis is an inflammatory disorder of the inner ear or labyrinth.
		The labyrinth lies within the petrous portion of the temporal bone adjacent to the mastoid cavity and connects with the middle ear at the oval and round windows.
		Viral labyrinthitis is often confused with vestibular neuritis, and the terms are occasionally used interchangeably in the literature.

		The labyrinth is a system of fluid passages in the inner ear, including both the cochlea which is part of the auditory system, and the vestibular system which provides the sense of balance.
		The vestibule is the region of the inner ear where the semicircular canals converge, close to the cochlea (the hearing organ).
		Labyrinthitis can be caused by viral infections, bacterial infections, physical blockage of the inner ear, or due to decompression sickness.

	* Inner ear diseases
		The low level laser therapy of inner ear diseases has been made use of in Germany since the end of the eighties (for example by Dr. Uwe Witt, Hamburg) and is also to be found in quite a few other countries (Italy, France, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Hungary, the United States of America, Russia etc.).

	How The Ear Works - With Pictures
		Inner hairs attached to the basilar membrane convert the waves into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerve.
		Both the inner and outer hair fibers are all connected to the auditory nerve through the basilar membrane and, depending on the nature of the movements in the cochlear fluid, different hair fibers are put into motion.
		From the vibrating ear drum, and in sequence, the malleus (hammer), the incus (anvil), and the stapes (stirrup), vibrate and transfer the vibrations to the oval window of the inner ear.

		The "osseous labyrinth" is a bony canal in the temporal bone; the "membranous labyrinth" lies within the osseous one and has a similar shape.
		Between the two labyrinths is a fluid that is secreted by cells in the wall of the bony canal.
		The parts of the labyrinths of the inner ear include a "cochlea" that function in hearing, and three semicircular canals that function in providing a sense of equilibrium.

	ear
		The ear may be divided up into three regions, the inner ear, the middle ear, and the outer ear.
		The outer ear is solely composed of the ear canal, the external auditory canal, and the pinna.
		When the maculae turn, the gel in the inner ear is pulled, resulting in an impulse to the vestibular nerve, which notifies the brain of the change of position.

	Inner Ear Infections
		Inner ear infections (otitis interna) or labyrinthitis, are almost always caused by viruses, and sometimes happen as a complication of a middle ear infection.
		When the inner ear is infected, fluid builds up in the vestibular labyrinth causing you to have problems with balance.
		In addition, because the inner ear can't function properly when it is infected, the signals it sends to the brain aren't quite right.

	Labyrinthitis - The Inner ear
		Not inner ear related but can cause inner ear damage in some cases and can present similar symptoms to inner ear dysfunction though MAV is generally episodic.
		It is thought to be brain related though the symptoms are often identical to inner ear.
		At this point (beyond the 8 week mark) Labyrinthitis has gone and it is the residuals of the infection - the damage - instead which remains - creating inner ear dysfunction.

		Usually considered part of the middle ear, the eardrum is a thin, flexible membrane that separates the outer ear from the middle ear.
		A delicate membranous inner ear (labyrinth) is enclosed and protected by a bony chamber that is referred to as the bony labyrinth.
