Introduction: Sound is integral to communication and connects us to the world through
speech and music. Cochlear hair cells are essential for converting sounds into neural …

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is typically a permanent and often progressive condition
that is commonly attributed to sensory cell loss. All vertebrates except mammals can …

Hearing loss has become increasingly prevalent and causes considerable disability, thus
gravely burdening the global economy. Irreversible loss of hair cells is a main cause of …

The sensory cells of the inner ear, called hair cells, do not regenerate spontaneously and
therefore, hair cell loss and subsequent hearing loss are permanent in humans. Conversely …

The mechanoreceptive sensory hair cells in the inner ear are selectively vulnerable to
numerous genetic and environmental insults. In mammals, hair cells lack regenerative …

Deafness or hearing deficits are debilitating conditions. They are often caused by loss of
sensory hair cells or defects in their function. In contrast to mammals, nonmammalian …

It is commonly assumed that mammalian cochlear cells do not regenerate. Therefore, if hair
cells are lost following an injury, no recovery could occur. However, during the first postnatal …

The mammalian inner ear largely lacks the capacity to regenerate hair cells, the sensory
cells required for hearing and balance. Recent studies in both lower vertebrates and …

Cochlear hair cells are mechanoreceptors of the auditory system and cannot spontaneously
regenerate in adult mammals; thus hearing loss due to hair cell damage is permanent. In …
