Inner ear anatomy necklace | 18k gold vermeil
The cochlea and vestibular labyrinth in 18k gold vermeil.
The Anatomy of the Inner Ear
The hair cells of the inner ear are among the most mechanically sensitive cells in the body. Stereocilia on the apical surface of cochlear hair cells deflect by less than a nanometre in response to the softest audible sound a displacement smaller than an atom's diameter. This mechanosensitivity comes at a cost: hair cells do not regenerate in mammals, and their loss from ageing, noise exposure, ototoxic drugs, or infection produces permanent sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implants bypass damaged hair cells entirely, stimulating the spiral ganglion neurons electrically; their design is directly informed by the tonotopic anatomy of the cochlea.
