A New Thought

One possibility why the hair-like nerve dies is because when subjected to loud levels, the hair-like nerve will move a lot and produce stronger electrical voltage to the brain.

I personally suspect there may be a point where the voltage generators overloads due to high demand, or an electrical surge / feedback in the signal chain, which shorted and killed the nerve / hair???

Scary? …… protect your ears, $$$$ can’t buy them.

Do we listen using the ears only?

NO, if the true listening / hearing is in the brain, due to electrical signal from the hair-like nerves, which is caused from movement, then vibrations will also produce signal to the brain.

I.e. unknown to everyone, we also listen using our body, picking vibrations.

I personally suspect, one can train the body hairs to pick-up air’s molecular movement. That would be more towards low frequency orientation.
