          Gene Therapy Restores Hearing in Those with Deafness

          A new study shows that gene therapy can significantly improve hearing in both children and adults with congenital deafness caused by mutations in the OTOF gene. The therapy uses a synthetic virus to deliver a healthy copy of the gene directly to the inner ear, with hearing improvements observed in all ten participants within one month.

          Can Hearing Aids Ease Loneliness? New Study Says Yes

          A new study shows that providing hearing aids and personalized audiology care helps older adults maintain social connections, reducing feelings of loneliness over time. Participants who received hearing interventions retained more diverse and meaningful relationships than those given only general healthy aging guidance.

          Six1 Protein May Unlock New Clues to Congenital Hearing Loss

          Congenital deafness affects roughly one in 1,000 babies and is often linked to genetic mutations, many of which remain unidentified. Researchers have now pinpointed a new set of candidate genes regulated by the protein Six1, which plays a critical role in inner ear development.

          New Auditory Pathway Map Offers Hope for Profound Hearing Loss

          Researchers have pioneered a non-invasive technique to map the human auditory pathway, crucial for determining the optimal surgical treatment for profound hearing loss. The method is designed to aid early interventions, ensuring the auditory-language network develops properly, enhancing long-term outcomes.

          Unlocking Sound: Common Supplement Might Combat Age-Related Hearing Loss

          Researchers discovered a link between age-related hearing loss and decreased cholesterol in the inner ear. This cholesterol reduction affects the outer hair cells (OHCs), which are essential for amplifying sounds.

          Deafness and Social Cues: It’s Environment, Not Brain Circuitry

          Recent findings reveal an important insight into the social struggles of deaf individuals: it's the environment, not their brains, that poses challenges. This research debunked the myth that hearing impairment alters the brain's social circuits.

          Hearing Loss Is a Side Effect of COVID-19

          A link has been discovered between COVID-19 infection and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). Upto one-third of patients referred to audiologists for SSHL were previously diagnosed with COVID-19. Other studies report an increase in SSHL in those with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.

          MEF2C, a gene critical for brain development and regulating circuit formation in the brain also plays a significant role in inner ear development. Mutations of MEF2C have previously been linked to ASD. Researchers found mice with only one copy of the MEF2C gene had reduced activity in the auditory nerve.
