Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...
