Glossary Cochlear Hair Cells

specialized inner ear cells that convert sound into signals

Cochlear hair cells are specialized sensory cells located in the cochlea of the inner ear. They play a crucial role in hearing by converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. There are two types: inner hair cells, which primarily send auditory information to the brain, and outer hair cells, which amplify and fine-tune sound vibrations. Damage to these cells can lead to hearing loss.
