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.

Explain how sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing?
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.
What is the function of the sperm cells mitochondrial spiral?
Producing energy APEX
The hearing receptors of the orgen of corti are called?
hair cells
What Inside the cochlea contains hearing receptor cells?
Semicircular Canal
How do our brain cells get activated when we listen How do our brain cells work when we talk?
The sound causes vibration of special structures in our ear. These structures, called stereocilia, are basically sort of "cell hair". When these hair move, a signal in the cells is produced. This signal is transmitted by nerves to brain. The existence of this signal in brain = "activation of brain cells". How do our brain cells work when we talk? They just produce signals leading to nerves which control our vocal centers. The question is not specific enough.
Hair cells that function as hearing receptors are located?
spiral organ of Corti
Explain how sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing?
When the sound waves stimulate the hair cells of the spiral organ of corti to cause hearing, the impulses are usually sent to the brain.
What are the fingerlike projections that greatly increase the surface are of cells?
stereocilia
What is the Hearing center whose cells connect with the brain?
Hearing center whose cells connect with the brain is known as the spiral ganglion. This is what will facilitate all audio signal transmission.
Louder sounds are discriminated from quieter sounds on the basis of?
how much the stereocilia of the hair cells are bent
The receptor organ for hearing is the?
Organ of Corti is the hearing organ and it rests on basilar membrane; consists of supporting cells and hair cells. Axons of the neurons that begin around the organ of Corti, extend in the cochlear nerve to the brain to produce the sensation of hearing.
What are the sequences of events for hearing?

What shapes describe bacterial cells?
Spiral
What are the hairs on the cochlea called?
hair cells are located within the organ of Corti on a thin basilar membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear. They derive their name from the tufts of stereocilia that protrude from the apical surface of the cell, a structure known as the hair bundle, into the scala media, a fluid-filled tube within the cochlea. Mammalian cochlear hair cells come in two anatomically and functionally distinct types: the outer and inner hair cells. Damage to these hair cells results in decreased hearing sensitivity, i.e. sensorineural hearing loss.
Receptors that contains hair bundles hair cells and supporting cells?
spiral organ of Corti
What are the hair cells of the spiral organ are covered by the?
tectorial membrane?
Can hearing aid correct destruction of receptor hair cells?
No, hearing aids cannot correct the destruction of receptor hair cells.
