 Question 7_1 out of 1 points Which of the following is true about the function of the cochlea Selected Answer: d. It transmits sound only. Correct Answer: d. It transmits sound only.

This causes the basilar membrane to vibrate, which in turn cause the organ of Corti (inner hair cells) to send electrical impulses along the auditory nerve to the brain.  Question 12_1 out of 1 points Which diagnosis code(s) below reports pain in the left and right ears?
