The sensory receptors involved in hearing are called mechanoreceptors. Specifically, there are hair cells located in the cochlea of the inner ear that detect sound waves and convert them into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. These hair cells are responsible for our ability to perceive sound and are directly involved in the process of hearing.
