title = "Regeneration of Sensory Cells of Adult Mammalian Inner Ear",
abstract = "Irreversible loss of hair cells and their innervating spiral ganglion neurons is the major reason for hearing loss. Attempts at integrating new supplementary cell sources into the damaged inner ear have been tested extensively. This chapter reviews the history of available cell sources and their achievements, limitations, and future developments for hearing rehabilitation. It addressed issues regarding the “self-repair” of mammalian inner ear sensory epithelium, including (1) recruitment of the in situ proliferation and differentiation of endogenous cells at the damaged site and (2) autologous transplantation, which offer new optimism for helping hearing-impaired individuals.",
