Review highlights gene therapy applications and genetic factors in hearing loss's clinical study, indicating its global health impact.
Hearing loss (HL) affects over 1.5 billion people globally, with genetic factors accounting for ≈50% of congenital cases. Therefore, HL has become a global health issue, driving extensive research from basic science to clinical applications. This Special Collection includes a total of 31 papers, among which 9 are review papers, 21 are research article papers, 1 is a perspective paper, that highlight the basic mechanisms and possible protection methods of HL, the application of gene therapy for treating HL, and the clinical study and application in HL.
