The Role of FoxG1 in the Inner Ear

TL;DR: The role and regulatory mechanism of FoxG1 in inner ear tissue from various aspects is discussed – such as the effect on inner ear development, the maintenance of inner ear structure and function, and its role in the inner ear when subjected to various stimulations or injuries – in order to explain the potential significance ofFoxG1 as a new target for the treatment of hearing loss.

Clinical Performance Evaluation of a Personal Sound Amplification Product vs a Basic Hearing Aid and a Premium Hearing Aid.

TL;DR: The results indicate that basic and premium HAs were not superior to the PSAP in patients with mild to moderate hearing impairment, which suggests that PSAPs might be used as an alternative to HAs in these patient populations.

A new approach to treating neurodegenerative otologic disorders

TL;DR: Various causes of loss of auditory function are surveyed and potential neurological underpinnings, including mitochondrial dysfunction are discussed, suggesting that new drugs targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and modulating epigenetic pathways via HDAC inhibition or other mechanisms hold great promise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hearing loss and cognitive decline in older adults

TL;DR: Hearing loss is independently associated with accelerated cognitive decline and incident cognitive impairment in community-dwelling older adults and the mechanistic basis of this association is and whether hearing rehabilitative interventions could affect cognitive decline is investigated.

Auditory and non-auditory effects of noise on health

TL;DR: The importance of adequate noise prevention and mitigation strategies for public health is stressed, as Observational and experimental studies have shown that noise exposure leads to annoyance, disturbs sleep and causes daytime sleepiness.

Hearing Loss and Incident Dementia

TL;DR: Hearing loss is independently associated with incident all-cause dementia, and whether hearing loss is a marker for early-stage dementia or is actually a modifiable risk factor for dementia deserves further study.
