🐦 Dr. Stefan Heller’s lab is studying how birds naturally regenerate hair cells to restore hearing, something mammals, including humans, cannot do.
This research could lead to groundbreaking treatments for permanent #HearingLoss.

#SICHL researchers may have uncovered how vestibular schwannoma (VS) tumors cause hearing loss. Dr. Stankovic’s team found that these tumors release toxic molecules that damage inner ear sensory cells. This discovery paves the way for new drug treatments to protect hearing.

Empower Yourself: Changing Mindsets about Hearing Loss
The World Health Organization (WHO) named March 3rd World Hearing Day, aiming to raise awareness about hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care globally. This year's theme is "Changing Mindsets: empower yourself to make ear and hearing care a reality for all." It is a powerful theme because it puts the person with hearing loss in the driver's seat, acknowledging that the attitudes we hold about our hearing loss and the actions we take to advocate for ourselves are key to how well we live with it.
