Abstract
Genetic evidence in humans and in mice supports the significance of reduction–oxidation (redox) balance in the development and maintenance of normal hearing. Variants in genes that directly or indirectly alter redox balance result in increased susceptibility to hearing loss, including age-related hearing loss and loss associated with noise and ototoxic drugs. Preexposure to low levels of noise, heat, or drugs activates pathways, including oxidative stress response genes, that can protect the cochlea from subsequent ototoxic damage. Further insight into the genetic control of redox balance and its influence on hearing will be accelerated by a variety of advances in genetic and genomic approaches. These include more extensive genome-wide association analyses and next-generation sequencing in human populations to identify genetic variants associated with age- and ototoxin-related hearing loss. In addition, innovations in cellular reprogramming strategies and genome engineering techniques will broaden the range of genetic model systems in which to investigate mechanisms of cochlear pathology and to test therapeutic interventions.
