Deafness is a major public health issue and severity increases rapidly after 50 years of age. Almost 90% of affected people suffer sensorineural loss, which involves deficit of sensory hair cells and their associated innervations. These cells are not replaced and hearing loss is irreversible. There is no definitive restorative treatment for deafness although, with a suitable nerve supply, the sensory function of the inner ear can be partially replaced by a cochlear implant. Stem cell-based technology now offers a glimpse of hope for patients condemned to live in perpetual silence. A potential therapeutic approach would be to replace lost cells by transplantation of exogenous, in vitro-maintained stem cells. Even patients with a cochlear implant could benefit with an improved neuronal component.
