Mechanotransduction is required for establishing and maintaining mature inner hair cells and regulating efferent innervation

Mechanoelectrical transducer (MET) channels on the tips of inner hair cells are essential for transducing auditory sensory information. Here, the authors show that disrupting MET channel function also prevents the preservation of normal inner hair cell identity in adult mice.
