Rational Design of Inner Ear Drug Delivery Systems. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
Hearing loss is a common disease affecting many people, and inner ear lesions are one of the most important causes. This review focuses on the treatment of inner ear hearing loss by drug delivery systems. It includes the current methods and technologies developed, and it predicts possible directions.

Deciphering Auditory Hyperexcitability in Otogl Mutant Mice Unravels an Auditory Neuropathy Mechanism. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
By investigating auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary deafness, this study identified a subpopulation of afferent neurons of the auditory nerve marked by Otogl expression. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl+/− mice display poor activation of afferent neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the middle the ear

A Modelling Study on the Comparison of Predicted Auditory Nerve Firing Rates for the Personalized Indication of Cochlear Implantation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The decision of whether to perform cochlear implantation is crucial because implantation cannot be reversed without harm. The aim of the study was to compare model-predicted time–place representations of auditory nerve (AN) firing rates for normal ...

The Effect of Lifetime Noise Exposure and Aging on Speech-Perception-in-Noise Ability and Self-Reported Hearing Symptoms: An Online Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Animal research shows that aging and excessive noise exposure damage cochlear outer hair cells, inner hair cells, and the synapses connecting inner hair cells with the auditory nerve.

Cochlear protection against noise exposure requires serotonin type 3A receptor via the medial olivocochlear system

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021
Abstract The cochlear efferent feedback system plays important roles in auditory processing, including regulation of the dynamic range of hearing, and provides protection against acoustic trauma. These functions are performed through medial olivocochlear (MOC) neurons.

Transient Abnormalities in Masking Tuning Curve in Early Progressive Hearing Loss Mouse Model

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Damage to cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) usually affects frequency selectivity in proportion to hearing threshold increase. However, the current clinical heuristics that attributes poor hearing performance despite near‐normal auditory sensitivity to auditory neuropathy or “hidden” synaptopathy overlooks possible underlying OHC impairment.

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Presbycusis: Pathology, Signal Pathways, and Therapeutic Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 29, August 7, 2025.
In ARHL, the stria vascularis, acting as a cochlear battery, gradually loses its ability to maintain the endocochlear potential, leading to impaired hair cell function and progressive hearing loss. Single‐cell sequencing reveals age‐related cellular changes in the cochlea, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of aging and potential ...

Complex auditory brainstem responses and speech-in-noise perception in young workers with occupational noise exposure

open access: yesFrontiers in Audiology and Otology
The aim of this study was to investigate whether complex auditory brainstem response (c-ABR) outcomes and speech-in-noise perception performance are associated with occupational noise exposure in young noise-exposed workers with normal hearing thresholds
