[cells found in the epithelial lining of the labyrinth of the inner ear; the hairs are stereovilli that restrict the plane in which deformation of the apical membrane of the cell can be brought about by movement of fluid or by sound; movement of the single stereocilium transduces mechanical movements into electrical receptor potentials.
