Abstract
There is a huge potential market for the treatment of hearing loss. Drugs are already available to ameliorate predictable, damaging effects of excessive noise and ototoxic drugs. The biggest challenge now is to develop drug-based treatments for regeneration of sensory cells following noise-induced and age-related hearing loss. This requires careful consideration of the physiological mechanisms of hearing loss and identification of key cellular and molecular targets. There are many molecular cues for the discovery of suitable drug targets and a full range of experimental resources are available for initial screening through to functional analysis in vivo. There is now an unparalleled opportunity for translational research.
