I don't understand why this is a parent of hair cell differentiation.

It looks like it's because the hair cells that 'hair cell differentiation' refers to are the ones in the inner ear, which are mechanosensory cells. We could change the wording to make it clearer -- e.g. 'cochlear hair cell differentiation'.

Yes, this refers to the inner ear hair cell. I mammals there is not anothoer kind of hair cell. The hairs on a mouse are hair follicles made of many cells.

I've added a comment to explain briefly what hair cells are in this context.
