Patient perspectives on the need for improved hearing rehabilitation: A qualitative survey study of German cochlear implant users

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundThe electrical cochlear implant (eCI) partially restores hearing in individuals affected by profound hearing impairment (HI) or deafness. However, the limited resolution of sound frequency coding with eCIs limits hearing in daily situations ...

Making the Case for Research on Disease-Modifying Treatments to Tackle Post-lingual Progressive Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Hearing loss not only has a significant impact on the quality of life of patients and society, but its correlation with cognitive decline in an aging population will also increase the risk of incident dementia. While current management of hearing loss is

Signal processing and stimulation potential within the ascending auditory pathway: a review

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
The human auditory system encodes sound with a high degree of temporal and spectral resolution. When hearing fails, existing neuroprosthetics such as cochlear implants may partially restore hearing through stimulation of auditory neurons at the level of ...

A dual‐AAV approach restores fast exocytosis and partially rescues auditory function in deaf otoferlin knock‐out mice

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2018
Normal hearing and synaptic transmission at afferent auditory inner hair cell (IHC) synapses require otoferlin. Deafness DFNB9, caused by mutations in the OTOF gene encoding otoferlin, might be treated by transferring wild‐type otoferlin cDNA into IHCs ...

μLED‐based optical cochlear implants for spectrally selective activation of the auditory nerve

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020
Electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) partially restore hearing and enable speech comprehension to more than half a million users, thereby re‐connecting deaf patients to the auditory scene surrounding them.

Virally mediated Kcnq1 gene replacement therapy in the immature scala media restores hearing in a mouse model of human Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen deafness syndrome

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2015
Mutations in the potassium channel subunit KCNQ1 cause the human severe congenital deafness Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen (JLN) syndrome. We applied a gene therapy approach in a mouse model of JLN syndrome (Kcnq1−/− mice) to prevent the development of ...

Cochlear Gene Therapy for Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Current Status and Major Remaining Hurdles for Translational Success

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) affects millions of people. Genetic mutations play a large and direct role in both congenital and late-onset cases of SNHL (e.g., age-dependent hearing loss, ADHL).
