Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Deafness is the most common sensory deficit. It affects 5.5% of the world's population, with important consequences in daily life. Indeed, the difficulties can range from a delay in the acquisition of oral language in children, to difficulty in oral communication in adults to real social isolation or even depression. The pathophysiological mechanisms leading to deafness are poorly understood, and no biomarkers have been identified in relation to the etiology and/or duration of deafness which are important prognostic factors for the outcome of hearing rehabilitation. The emergence of metabolomics could allow a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms, to identify biomarkers and to propose personalized treatments. This Special Issue of Metabolites titled " Hearing Loss and Ear Fluid Metabolism " is dedicated to metabolomics research on fluid and tissue analysis in ear pathologies. Topics covered in this Issue include sampling and analysis techniques, biomarker identification, improvement of pathophysiological knowledge, data processing and the development of personalized treatment.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
