Stem-cell therapy for hearing loss: are we there yet?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2019
Introduction: Mammalian hair cells and auditory neurons do not show regenerative capacity. Hence, damage to these cell types is permanent and leads to hearing loss. However, there is no treatment that re-establishes auditory function.

Auditory neuroscience: Development, transduction and integration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Hearing underlies our ability to locate sound sources in the environment, our appreciation of music, and our ability to communicate. Participants in the National Academy of Sciences colloquium on Auditory Neuroscience: Development, Transduction, and ...

The Significance of Subperiosteal Abscess Volume in Acute Mastoiditis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Both needle aspiration and I&D are safe methods to reduce the infective and inflammatory load of subperiosteal abscess due to acute mastoiditis and provide pus for culture. Higher volumes (~3 cm3 and more) should be managed initially with cortical mastoidectomy since the risk of no improvement following needle aspiration or I&D is higher.

Comparing Tinnitus Suppression in Asymmetric Hearing Loss and Single‐Sided Deafness: Cochlear Versus Bone Conduction Implants

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
While both cochlear implants and bone conduction implants improve tinnitus symptoms, cochlear implants provide significantly greater suppression across multiple tinnitus severity measures and a higher cure rate, positioning it as the preferred option for tinnitus management in asymmetric hearing loss and single‐sided deafness patients.

Long‐Term Cochlear Implant Sensitivity in Patients With Far Advanced Otosclerosis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aimed to evaluate mid‐ and long‐term cochlear implant fitting in otosclerosis patients compared to a control group. It suggested significant tissue remodeling at the cochlear apex in otosclerosis patients, likely increasing resistance to electrical currents delivered by the implant.

Innervation of Cochlear Hair Cells by Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Neurons In Vitro

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2016
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) may serve as an autologous source of replacement neurons in the injured cochlea, if they can be successfully differentiated and reconnected with residual elements in the damaged auditory system.

Quantitative Proteomics of Cochlear Tissues: Bilateral Comparisons in Guinea Pigs and Rats

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cochlea, an incredibly sensitive sensory system, detects sound waves and converts them into electrical signals the brain recognizes as sound. Damage to cochlear hair cells can release proteins, triggering biological responses that may impair hearing.

Update on Gene Therapy in the Treatment of Hereditary Hearing Loss

open access: yesSensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
Gene therapy is a promising therapeutic approach for genetic disorders, including three major gene therapy strategies: gene replacement, gene suppression, and gene editing. After transmitting genes to the inner ear through appropriate pathways, repair the cochlea in order to achieve the goal of treating hereditary hearing loss.

Constraint Induced Neglect Therapy (CINT): A Proposed Technique for Spatial Neglect Rehabilitation in Patients With Stroke

open access: yesSensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective rehabilitation techniques for neglect are lacking. The aim of this article is to propose a method in which a comfortable sound that is convenient to the hearing of patients with stroke will be delivered to the affected side's ear via a head phone for 6 h a day divided in 3 sessions (2 h each) per day, for 2 weeks to improve neglect ...
