A major longitudinal study of more than 3,300 teens finds that by age 18, one in eight adolescents shows signs of probable noise-induced hearing damage and over 6% have sensorineural hearing loss.
Updated pivotal trial results show that Regeneron’s investigational gene therapy DB-OTO led to rapid, clinically meaningful, and sustained hearing improvements in nearly all children with OTOF-related profound genetic hearing loss, with some achieving normal hearing and improved speech development.
Researchers have identified what causes “specific musical anhedonia”—a condition where people feel no pleasure from music.

Read MoreBIHIMA’s EuroTrak UK 2025 survey reveals rising satisfaction among hearing device users, but also a slight dip in adoption.
Read MoreA long-term U.S. study has found that young adults with hearing loss—especially of certain ethnicities—face lower educational attainment, reduced employment rates, and diminished income compared to their peers without hearing loss.
Read MoreSENS-501 is a gene therapy candidate being developed to treat a form of congenital deafness linked to mutations in the OTOF (otoferlin) gene.
Read MoreTwangy voices, often described as “brassy” and “bright,” can be used to get a message across in a noisy environment.
Read MoreThis discussion addresses the misunderstandings around the connection between cognition and hearing loss and the best ways for HCPs to approach the topic with patients.
Read MoreResearchers have restored hearing in mice with ENPP1 deficiency using a novel bone-targeted enzyme replacement therapy, offering hope for treating hearing loss in patients with this rare and often fatal genetic disorder.
Read MoreA large-scale European study by the University of Geneva reveals that hearing loss significantly accelerates memory decline in older adults—especially among those experiencing loneliness—highlighting the urgent need for early hearing care and social support.
Read MoreResearchers have discovered that two distinct genes independently regulate the regeneration of sensory hair cells in zebrafish, offering new insights that could inform future treatments for hearing loss in humans.
Read MoreSensorion’s Phase 1/2 Audiogene trial of the gene therapy SENS-501 for infants and toddlers with OTOF-related congenital deafness shows promising early safety and hearing improvement data, particularly in one patient, with a higher dose cohort now underway.
Read MoreThe USC study is the first to link hearing aids and cochlear implants to improved social lives among adults with hearing loss.
Read MoreIn a new study, gene therapy targeting the OTOF gene significantly restored hearing in children and adults with congenital deafness, with rapid improvement and no serious side effects.
Read MoreInspired by the silent flight of owls, researchers have developed an aerogel that effectively absorbs both high- and low-frequency noise, offering a new solution to combat noise pollution in vehicles and industrial settings.
