hair cells in the inner ear.
A particularly effective treatment against many cancers, platinum - based chemotherapy, has the unfortunate side effect of damaging
the hair cells in the ear that are responsible for sensing sound waves, Goldrich said.
Every hair cell in the cochlea is partnered with several neurons that convey information from the ear to the brain in an orderly way.

Still, researchers now have a far better understanding of the molecular pathways
in the ear and how to regenerate

His research shows that
in cases of hearing loss, the ear's nerve fibers become damaged before the
hair cells do, and when those synaptic fibers reconnect to the
hair cells, it's possible to regain hearing.
