How are the inner hair cells and auditory nerve fibers activated without the mediation of the outer hair cells and the cochlear amplifier?
{{output}}
The present study was designed to assess whether, in the presence of a depression of the cochlear amplifier i.e. a sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), the inner hair cells (IHCs) require the presence of a normal endocochlear potential for transduction. An SNHL ... ...
