Role of Stem Cells in the treatment of Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Haitham Mohamed Maher El-Oraby;
Abstract
Hearing loss is one of the major disabilities worldwide. Although conductive hearing loss is largely overcome by surgical treatment, therapeutic options for SNHL are limited to hearing aids and cochlear implants and sometimes pharmacotherapy in acute onset SNHL.
Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by degeneration of hair cells or auditory neurons. Hair cells (HCs) are easily damaged by aging as well as during episodes of ototoxicity and acoustic trauma. HCs damages typically occur in the early stage of injury and can result in a permanent hearing loss. Although some regeneration of vestibular hair cells has been reported in the mammalian inner ear, sensory hair cells of the organ of Corti do not regenerate.
