ABSTRACT
Sensory hair cells of the inner ear are exposed to continuous mechanical stress, causing damage over time. The maintenance of hair cells is further challenged by damage from a variety of other ototoxic factors, including loud noise, aging, genetic defects, and ototoxic drugs. This damage can manifest in many forms, from dysfunction of the hair cell mechanotransduction complex to loss of specialized ribbon synapses, and may even result in hair cell death. Given that mammalian hair cells do not regenerate, the repair of hair cell damage is important for continued auditory function throughout life. Here, we discuss how several key hair cell structures can be damaged, and what is known about how they are repaired.
