These pass on the vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. The inner ear is filled with fluid. It also contains a small spiral tube called the cochlea. The cochlea has lots of tiny hair-like ...

This valuable study reports the induction of supernumerary inner hair cells in the mouse cochlea upon reducing the expression ... the development and regeneration of hair cells in the inner ear. To ...

A spiral-shaped organ inside your inner ear called your cochlea contains tiny hairs known as stereocilia. These hairs convert vibrations from sound waves into neural signals that your auditory ...

Sensorineural hearing loss is the more common type. It occurs when your auditory nerve or the hair cells inside your inner ear’s cochlea become damaged. Sensorineural hearing loss is usually ...
