Control of hearing sensitivity by tectorial membrane calcium

When sound stimulates the stereocilia on the sensory cells in the hearing organ, Ca(2+) ions flow through mechanically gated ion channels. This Ca(2+) influx is thought to be important for ensuring that the mechanically gated channels operate within their most sensitive response region, setting the...
