Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine focused on “Therapies for Hearing Loss”.
Deafness is a major handicap, impending social, emotional, and professional life of millions of people, in an entire lifespan. Babies can be screened at birth and treated very efficiently to date; these major advances in care of deafness in children improve dramatically their well-being. It has been demonstrated that hearing loss can impact cognitive skills in the elderly and that auditory rehabilitation can reduce this impact.
Improvements in knowledge have been very important in the last few decades in the fields of genetics, bioengineering, and auditory function assessment. These have led to possible new therapies for hearing loss. Inner ear therapies are emerging, genetic therapies are not so far for some diseases, and cochlear and other auditory implants afford efficient restoration of audition for severe to profoundly deaf people.
The main ambition of this Special Issue is to share the state-of-the-art in therapies for hearing loss, to scientists and physicians who are not so familiar with deafness.
Prof. Dr. Eric Truy
Guest Editor
