One of the greatest challenges in the treatment of inner ear disorders is to find a cure for hearing damage secondary to the loss of cochlear hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. It has been estimated, according to WHO data, that 250 million people in the world are affected by a disabling auditory impairment (about 28 million in the USA alone), and congenital deafness affects 1 in 1000 children.

Abstract

One of the greatest challenges in the treatment of inner ear disorders is to find a cure for hearing damage secondary to the loss of cochlear hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. It has been estimated, according to WHO data, that 250 million people in the world are affected by a disabling auditory impairment (about 28 million in the USA alone), and congenital deafness affects 1 in 1000 children.
