The authors found mistakes in 2 figures of their publication "Progress in protecting vestibular hair cells ", published online 13 May 2021. They have redrawn Fig. 2, correcting the wrong notes, and they have optimized the drawing of nerve fibers in both Figs. 1 and 2, showing afferent and efferent nerve fibers at the same time.

  1. 1.

    In the right notes of Fig. 2, the “Type I hair cell” and “Type II hair cell” are switched.

  2. 2.

    There add efferent nerve fibers at the bottom of hair cells in both Figs. 1 and 2.
