Treating Hearing Loss: From Cochlear Implantation to Gene Therapy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cochlear implantation is the primary treatment for deafness, restoring functional hearing in over a million people. Recently, gene therapy has enabled biological hearing restoration in a small number of patients with OTOF‐related mutations. This perspective evaluates both approaches, concluding that cochlear implants will remain the standard for most ...

A Novel Missense Variant in LMX1A Leads to Autosomal Dominant Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a prevalent entity associated with over 150 known causative genes, including LMX1A, which has fewer than 10 reported pathogenic variants. Here we present a novel missense variant in LMX1A in a family of European descent with hereditary hearing loss. Clinical and family histories were obtained, and

Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Rates of Hearing Preservation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The purpose of our study is to understand the extent to which robotic‐assisted electrode array (EA) insertion improves hearing preservation. Our results show that robotic‐assisted EA insertion is associated with improved hearing preservation over 1 year compared with manual insertion.

Safe Sound: Highlighting Electronic Dance Music Attendees' Unique Hearing Protection Practices
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Electronic dance music attendees (EDMAs) stand out as a group more likely to use hearing protection (HP) compared to non‐EDM attendees (non‐EDMAs), making them an interesting focus for understanding the adoption of healthier auditory habits. This study delved into the factors driving HP use among EDMAs, uncovering key influences such as personal ...
