  • Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are involved in auditory transduction.
  • Genetic and environmental factors contributing to auditory dysfunction have been identified.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recent research significantly enhances our comprehension of auditory processing in flies.
    • The Drosophila auditory system serves as a valuable model for studying hearing mechanisms relevant to vertebrates.
