Abstract
Hearing loss is as much part of growing old as are cancer and Alzheimer's, and with the silver tsunami of baby boomers now becoming senior citizens, the impact of age-related hearing loss is becoming increasingly significant. Ongoing research over the last 25 years into gene therapies to correct certain congenital forms of hearing loss appears to be on the verge of a breakthrough, and cell therapies are promising to replace damaged hair cells of the inner ear.
