No an organism implies that it is an independent functioning entity. Hair is part of not independent of the body.
The hair cells of the spiral organ (organ of Corti) are covered by the tectorial membrane. This membrane plays a critical role in transmitting sound vibrations to the hair cells, which then convert the mechanical energy into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain as sound.
Actually, hair is part of your excretory system. It's another way for the body to remove waste. Makes you rethink your hair, doesn't it? :P
Hair grows from hair follicles, which are found within the skin of mammals. Each hair follicle is connected to blood vessels and nerves, allowing hair to grow and be nourished with essential nutrients.
The potassium ion is responsible for depolarization of hair cells in the spiral organ. When deflected, potassium channels open, leading to an influx of potassium ions into the cell and depolarization of the cell membrane.
The organ of hearing that lies in the snail-shaped cochlea is the spiral-shaped organ called the organ of Corti. It contains hair cells that are responsible for detecting sound vibrations and converting them into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
No. Your hair is not an organ.

The integumentary system includes the hair, as well as the nails and skin.
Hairs are produced within an organ called the hair follicle, which is located in the dermis layer of the skin. Each hair follicle contains the necessary structures for hair growth, such as the root, bulb, and papilla.
