Amount of wear, and how long they are may contribute with age and maybe even coloration and pigment.
Outer hair cells change their axial dimensions in response to electrical stimulation.
What is basilar membrane motion?
Hair cell stereocilia move as a result of the basilar membrane's movement. The tectorial membrane and the hair cells, which are connected to the basilar membrane, move along with it when it moves, and the stereocilia bend in response to the relative motion of the tectorial membrane.
The hair cells that are linked to the auditory nerve fibers are stimulated by the basilar membrane's movement. While the outside hair cells actively affect the basilar membrane's vibrations, the inner hair cells convert hydromechanical vibration into action potentials.
With each sound cycle, the intracellular voltage of the outer hair cells varies, causing them to lengthen and contract. This increases the organ of Corti's vibration, enabling exceptionally high hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

Answer:
The CTL has specific receptors that can recognize infected or damaged cells.
Explanation:
The cytotoxic T cells (CTL) is a type of white blood cells that specifically helps in destroying virus-infected cells (also damaged cells and cancer cells).
This type of cells has a special receptor called T-cells receptors (TCR) which ones recognize specific antigens (molecule that stimulate the immune systems because are “strange” to them). Virus inside a cell could bind to a special molecule called class I MHC, this molecule moves the virus to the surface of the cell where it can be recognized by a CD8+ specific antigen-receptor of the CTL.
