Most auditory nerve fibers carry messages <u>from the inner</u> hair cells.
Explanation:
The internal hair cells group the frequency and intensity of the sound stimulation, which is then transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerve fibers. Frequency coding in mammals is associated with cochlear tonotopia. However, the sounds of frequency lower than 3 kHz, their coding is based on phase blockage at the level of hair cells.
