The function of the outer hair cell in hearing is now perceived as that of a cochlear amplifier that refines the sensitivity and frequency selectivity of the mechanical vibrations of the cochlea.
Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, ...
If some speakers in your sound system were broken, you might try to compensate by cranking up the volume on the ones that ...
Top: Rows of healthy sensory hair cells in the mouse inner ear with green stereocilia arcs. Middle: In Rest mutant mice, hair cells are disorganized, and stereocilia barely visible. Bottom ...
The most common form of hearing loss is caused by the death of cochlear hair cells in the organ of Corti, and once lost, hair cells in humans and other mammals do not regenerate. In contrast, ...

Hear ye! Hear ye! Previously unknown set of cochlear hearing modes supports complexities in human hearingMomi et al, Hair Cells in the Cochlea Must Tune Resonant Modes to the Edge of Instability without Destabilizing Collective Modes, PRX Life (2025). DOI: 10.1103/PRXLife.3.013001 ...
The cochlea uses sensory hair cells to detect sound waves in the air, then converts them into electrical signals that the brain can process. Most cochlear nerves carry information from the cochlea ...

The cochlea is a spiral-shaped cavity filled with fluid containing the critical hearing cells. The primary hearing cells are the hair cells, which convert sound waves into electrical signals, and the ...
The inner hair cells are arranged in a single row and remain free to respond to movement of endolymph in the cochlear duct. The outer hair cells are arranged in 3 rows in the basal coil of the ...
