The hearing hairs in the inner ear help convert sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound. These hairs detect different frequencies of sound and send signals to the brain, allowing us to hear and distinguish between various sounds.
Hearing and balance receptors are found in the ear.
The sensory receptors for hearing and touch are similar in that they both detect external stimuli and convert them into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. Additionally, both types of receptors are specialized cells that are located in specific organs (the ear for hearing and the skin for touch) and are sensitive to different types of stimuli (sound waves for hearing and pressure, temperature, and texture for touch).
The hearing receptors, known as hair cells, are located in the cochlea of the inner ear. These hair cells convert sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
The receptors that detect tactile cues such as touch, pressure, hearing, and equilibrium are mechanoreceptors. These specialized sensory receptors are located in the skin, inner ear, and other parts of the body, and they respond to mechanical stimuli such as vibration, pressure, and movement. Mechanoceptors play a critical role in our ability to perceive and respond to sensory information related to touch, balance, and hearing.

Basically, yes. The organ of Corti contains the hearing receptors (little hairs) that allow us to hear.

houses hearing and equilibrium receptors
In the inner ear, is a spiral organ called the cochlea, and this liquid filled organ is tapered and along its length are a large number of small sensory hairs. These small hairs cause a signal to be generated in the cell supporting the hair and this we interpret as sound.

If you don't protect your hearing, your hearing will get worse...and worse...and worse... there are little tiny hairs in your ears and loud noise will damage them. The more hairs tht are damaged, the worse your hearing will be. Hope this helps:)
Human hairs have touch receptors that wrap around their roots, so they help in tactile sensory reception.
