Abstract

The first part of this paper briefly describes some of the processes occurring in the inner ear at the submolecular level that make up the reception and transmission of auditory information. An accurate and rapid transmission of information to the receptor depends on these processes. The importance of molecular changes in the auditory receptor and in the auditory cell itself has been highlighted.

The second part presents an intracellular amplification mechanism such as exists in other sense organs. The molecular level ensures the speed and accuracy of amplification of information received, too weak to reach the center where it is analyzed.
