A section through the organ of Corti in the cochlear of the inner ear.

V-shaped arrangements of outer hairs (stereocilia, white) lie on top of a single outer hair cell (red).

The hairs are surrounded by endolymph fluid. As sound enters the ear, it causes waves to form in the endolymph, which in turn causes these hairs to move.

Outer hair cells amplify the vibrations, which are then picked up by inner hair cells (rows of hairs at bottom right) that transmit the signal to auditory nerve fibres. This amplification enhances the sensitivity and dynamic range of hearing.

Surrounding the outer hair cells are Deiters', or phalangeal, cells (brown), a type of support cell. Outer hair cell nerve fibres are violet.

When contaminated water becomes trapped in your inner ear, the bacteria can breed and cause an infection. Such infections can potentially damage the fragile hair cells inside the ear responsible for transmitting sound, leading to hearing loss. https://www.signia-hearing.com/blog/swimming-ears-need-to-know/

Hair cells from the organ of Corti in the cochlear of the human inner ear.

Each V-shaped arrangement of outer hairs (stereocilia, pink) lies on the top of a single cell. The hairs are surrounded by endolymph fluid. As sound enters the ear, it causes waves to form in the endolymph, which in turn causes these hairs to move.

Outer hair cells amplify the vibrations, which are then picked up by inner hair cells (row of hair cells in the background) that transmit the signal to auditory nerve fibres.

This amplification enhances the sensitivity and dynamic range of hearing. Across bottom are bottle-shaped Deiters', or phalangeal, cells, a type of support cell.
