The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the inner ear over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process by which the cellular identity of auditory hair cells is acquired and determined. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a mechanoreceptor, a cell specialized to transduce mechanical stimuli and relay that information centrally in the nervous system. 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 a cell becomes committed to become an inner ear receptor cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a neuron. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become a vestibular receptor cell.
