Towards the optical cochlear implant: optogenetic approaches for hearing restoration [PDF]
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020 Cochlear implants (CIs) are considered the most successful neuroprosthesis as they enable speech comprehension in the majority of half a million CI users suffering from sensorineural hearing loss.

Perspectives on Human Hearing Loss, Cochlear Regeneration, and the Potential for Hearing Restoration Therapies [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2020 Most adults who acquire hearing loss find it to be a disability that is poorly corrected by current prosthetics. This gap drives current research in cochlear mechanosensory hair cell regeneration and in hearing restoration.

Is there an unmet medical need for improved hearing restoration? [PDF]
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2022 Hearing impairment, the most prevalent sensory deficit, affects more than 466 million people worldwide (WHO). We presently lack causative treatment for the most common form, sensorineural hearing impairment; hearing aids and cochlear implants (CI) remain

Hearing Restoration with Auditory Brainstem Implant [PDF]
Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica, 2016 Auditory brainstem implant (ABI) technology attempts to restore hearing in deaf patients caused by bilateral cochlear nerve injury through the direct stimulation of the brainstem, but many aspects of the related mechanisms remain unknown. The unresolved issues can be grouped into three topics: which patients are the best candidates; which type of ...

Hearing restoration and the stria vascularis: evidence for the role of the immune system in hearing restoration. [PDF]
Curr Opin Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 2021 Purpose of review This article reviews the current literature regarding the pathogenesis of immune-mediated sensorineural hearing loss, utilizes previously published single-nucleus transcriptional profiles to characterize cytokine and cytokine receptor expression in the adult stria vascularis cell types to support immune system

The Myc Road to Hearing Restoration [PDF]
Cells, 2012 Current treatments for hearing loss, the most common neurosensory disorder, do not restore perfect hearing. Regeneration of lost organ of Corti hair cells through forced cell cycle re-entry of supporting cells or through manipulation of stem cells, both ...

Recent Advancements in the Regeneration of Auditory Hair Cells and Hearing Restoration [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017 Neurosensory responses of hearing and balance are mediated by receptors in specialized neuroepithelial sensory cells. Any disruption of the biochemical and molecular pathways that facilitate these responses can result in severe deficits, including ...

Middle Ear Implant in a Patient With Fibrous Dysplasia: An Alternative for Hearing Restoration
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2021 We propose middle ear implants (MEI) as alternative hearing restoration option for patients with fibrous dysplasia of the temporal bone (FDTB). A 60-year-old man presented with unilateral right-sided conductive hearing loss (CHL) and FDTB.

Channelrhodopsin fluorescent tag replacement for clinical translation of optogenetic hearing restoration. [PDF]
Mol Ther Methods Clin Dev, 2023 Sensory restoration by optogenetic neurostimulation provides a promising future alternative to current electrical stimulation approaches. So far, channelrhodopsins (ChRs) typically contain a C-terminal fluorescent protein (FP) tag for visualization that ...
