Most commonly this occurs in the trachea (cigarette smoke) and the result is that the mucus that lines the trachea is not carried up to the esophagus to be "drained off". The end result is that the inhaled bacteria remains in the airways where they can grow and cause infection.

answ2. However, your hearing also depends upon minute cilia, and when these become damaged (or the cells on which they grow) then you'll become permanently deaf at those frequencies. And a nasty secondary effect is that the damaged cells continue to give out a signal which the brain interprets as a sound - this is the 'ringing in the ears' or Tinnitus. Please take care of your hearing.
