What is the purpose of the hair cells in the inner ear?

- to turn vibrations into electrical impulses, which can then travel through the auditory nerve to the brain
- to form a bridge from the eardrum to the membrane at the entrance to the inner ear
- to prevent large particles from entering and damaging the inner ear
- to prevent a buildup of earwax
