Mammalian auditory hair cells do not spontaneously regenerate, unlike hair cells in lower
vertebrates, including fish and birds. In mammals, hearing loss due to the loss of hair cells is …

Cochlear hair cells convert sound into electrical signals that are relayed via the spiral
ganglion neurons to the central auditory pathway. Hair cells are vulnerable to damage …

Cochlear hair cells (HCs) are the mechanoreceptors of the auditory system, and because
these cells cannot be spontaneously regenerated in adult mammals, hearing loss due to HC …

Loss of sensory hair cells is the leading cause of deafness in humans. The mammalian
cochlea cannot regenerate its complement of sensory hair cells. Thus at present, the only …

Cochlear hair cells are mechanoreceptors of the auditory system and cannot spontaneously
regenerate in adult mammals; thus hearing loss due to hair cell damage is permanent. In …

Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to sensory hair cells and/or spiral ganglion
neurons. In non-mammalian species, hair cell regeneration after damage is observed, even …

It is commonly assumed that mammalian cochlear cells do not regenerate. Therefore, if hair
cells are lost following an injury, no recovery could occur. However, during the first postnatal …

Sensory hair cells of the inner ear are responsible for translating auditory or vestibular
stimuli into electrical energy that can be perceived by the nervous system. Although hair …

Neurosensory responses of hearing and balance are mediated by receptors in specialized
neuroepithelial sensory cells. Any disruption of the biochemical and molecular pathways …

Millions of people worldwide suffer from hearing and balance disorders caused by loss of
the sensory hair cells that convert sound vibrations and head movements into electrical …
