How would the loss of stereocilia from hair cells of the spiral organ affect hearing?

The loss of stereocilia, as a result of constant exposure to loud noises, for instance, would reduce hearing sensitivity and could lead to deafness.

What are the cranial nerves belonging to senses?

Sensory nerves are the nerves that allow people to experience taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. For sight, there are photoreceptors; for hearing, there is stereocilia; for touch, there are motor neurons, and for smell there are olfactory sensory nerves.


What are the two things inside the cochlea called?

Hmm, interesting. The question reminds me that I need to brush up on my anatomy. Anyway, I think the answer that you are looking for is "perilymph" (the watery fluid which shakes around following stimulation from the stapes (bone)) and "stereocilia" (which are essentially "hair-like" extensions which track and measure the movement of the perilymph). And thank you for giving me the opportunity to brush up on my ear anatomy!


What is the sensory neuron of ear?

In the cochlear (organ responsible for hearing) and the vestibular apparatus (organ responsible for balance-sense) the sensory neuron is called a 'hair-cell'. Its name is related to the appearance of the cell, which contains hair like projections on the apical surface called 'stereocilia'.


What form of deafness is caused by damage to the cilia?

Disease, toxins, and excessive noise over a duration of time are all causes of hearing loss from damage to the stereocilia in the inner ear. Hearing loss has different degrees, but there is no "form" of deafness. There are multiple reasons a person will become completely deaf, or have some degree of hearing loss. The person can be deaf from birth, or can have progressive hearing loss over their life time.
