Administration of cisplatin, a common chemotherapeutic drug, has an inevitable side effect
of sensorineural hearing loss. The main etiologies are stria vascularis injury, spiral ganglion …

Whilst the phenomenon of an electrical resting membrane potential (RMP) is a central tenet
of biology, it is nearly always discussed as a phenomenon that facilitates the propagation of …

It is well known that electrical signals are deeply associated with living entities. Much of our
understanding of excitable tissues is derived from studies of specialized cells of neurons or …

Both age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and age-related loss in vestibular function (ARVL) are
prevalent conditions with deleterious consequences on the health and quality of life. Age …

The stria vascularis (SV) is a highly vascularized tissue lining the lateral wall of the cochlea.
The SV maintains cochlear fluid homeostasis, generating the endocochlear potential that is …

How are sights and sounds and smells converted into electrical signals in a form that can be
interpreted by the nervous system? Although this process, called sensory transduction …

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is routinely encountered and is one of the most
common emergent diseases in otolaryngology clinics. However, the etiology of SSNHL …

The semicircular canals are responsible for sensing angular head motion in three-
dimensional space and for providing neural inputs to the central nervous system (CNS) …

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most prevalent sensory deficit in the elderly and
constitutes the third highest risk factor for dementia. Lifetime noise exposure, genetic …

Hearing disorders pose significant challenges to individuals experiencing them and their
overall quality of life, emphasizing the critical need for advanced pharmacological …
