1·Thousands of tiny hairs in the cochlea bend when exposed to the original sound vibrations. But those hairs can get stuck in a bent position.

4·The cochlea in the ear converts sound waves to electrical impulses that the brain processes as sound.

5·As a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in the cochlea, ATP has it's complicated effects.
