Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an auditory hair cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features of inner ear receptor cells. Inner ear receptor cells are mechanorecptors found in the inner ear responsible for transducing signals involved in balance and sensory perception of sound. The process by which the cellular identity of auditory hair cells is acquired and determined. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of an auditory hair cell. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become an inner ear receptor cell. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a neuron. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an auditory hair cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed.
