      abstract = {Inner ear hair cells are essential for hearing, balance,  and acceleration, yet they do not regenerate in humans,  making their maintenance critical for preventing  age-related hearing loss. The molecular mechanisms  underlying normal hair-cell function and recovery from  damage remain poorly understood. This study characterizes  energy metabolism in hair cells of chicken auditory and  vestibular organs and examines cellular responses to  hair-bundle tip link damage. Findings provide insight into  metabolic processes and repair mechanisms that support  hair-cell resilience, offering a foundation for strategies  to preserve sensory function and mitigate hearing loss.},
