If a very loud vibration causes the stapes to pierce the cochlea vibrations will no longer be efficiently transmitted to the hair nerve cells. Likewise a very large vibration inside the cochlea may break the hair cells so that they can no longer bend in response to vibrations of the basilar membrane.
