Hair cells of the inner ear operate as cellular microphones that convert sound-evoked vibrations into electrical signals. Each hair cell is endowed with a mechanosensitive hair bundle—a tuft of actin-filled and cylindrical stereocilia. Hearing starts when sound evokes deflections of the hair bundle. Deflections modulate tension in the tip links that interconnect stereocilia and convey force to mechanosensitive ion channels, resulting in ionic influx. The hair-bundle morphology is tightly coupled to hair-cell function as a frequency-selective detector: high-frequency hair cells have shorter hair bundles and morphological defects in the hair bundles are associated with deafness. Because hair cells do not regenerate in mammals, the mechanism t...
