The functioning of the ear and the perception of sounds have always fascinated the scientific community. Over the past decades, continuous discoveries have emerged that contribute to a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms of hearing. However, the latest research represents an exciting direction as it fundamentally questions our current knowledge regarding sound transformation occurring in the ear. Understanding the process of hearing is not only important from a scientific perspective but also has practical significance. The new discoveries examining the role of hair cells and ion channels in the inner ear shed new light on the possibilities for treating hearing loss. The precise localization of ion channels, which previously…
