Lead (Pb) can damage organs and also have undesirable effects on neural development. To explore the effects of Pb on olfactory cells, we investigated Pb‐induced cell toxicity in the DBC1.2 olfactory cell line, with a focus on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, apoptosis, and necroptosis. Representative markers of ER stress, apoptosis, and necroptosis were analyzed by quantitative PCR. The mRNA expression levels of GRP94, GRP78, spliced XBP1, PERK, and ATF6 increased significantly after Pb exposure in a dose‐dependent manner. The expression of Caspase 3 and Caspase 12 did not increase after Pb exposure, which suggested that apoptosis‐induced cell death was not activated after Pb exposure. However, the mRNA of RIPK3 and MLKL showed increases in expression, which indicated that necroptosis‐induced cell death was activated after Pb exposure. These results indicate that Pb exposure induced dose‐dependent cytotoxicity through ER stress and necroptosis pathways in DBC1.2 cells, whereas the apoptosis pathway was not significantly stimulated. HEPES buffer showed a partial protective effect in terms of ER stress, apoptosis, and necroptosis. In summary, the necroptosis pathway plays a crucial rule in Pb exposure‐induced cytotoxicity in olfactory cells.

Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of self‐management vestibular rehabilitation (VR) on the subjective symptoms of dizziness and postural stability in persistent postural‐perceptual dizziness (PPPD). Study design Retrospective case review. Methods The medical records of 30 patients newly diagnosed with PPPD based on the Bárány Society's diagnostic criteria were reviewed. Nineteen patients (4 males and 15 females; age range 27–84 years, mean age ± standard deviation 57.4 ± 14.2 years) who was newly instructed to self‐management VR were included and instructed to perform self‐management VR for 2 months. Results One patient did not visit the outpatient clinic again, and in the remaining 18 patients, 4 (22%) discontinued VR at their own discretion. In the 12 patients who completed 2 months of VR (67%), there was a significant improvement in Niigata PPPD Questionnaire (NPQ) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) scores after VR compared to those before VR (p .05). Conclusions For PPPD, self‐management VR improved subjective symptoms of dizziness, but not stability of standing posture. It is necessary to improve patients' adherence to the treatment. Level of evidence 4.

Abstract We investigated whether the oxidoreductase cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) prevents noise-induced and age-related hearing loss (NIHL and ARHL) in mice. To assess NIHL, 8 week-old mice with and without PQQ administration were exposed to noise for 4 h. PQQ was orally administered for one week before and after noise exposure and subcutaneously once before noise exposure. For ARHL evaluation, mice were given drinking water with or without PQQ starting at 2 months of age. In the NIHL model, PQQ-treated mice had auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds of significantly reduced elevation at 8 kHz, a significantly increased number of hair cells at the basal turn, and significantly better maintained synapses beneath the inner hair cells compared to controls. In the ARHL model, PQQ significantly attenuated the age-related increase in ABR thresholds at 8 and 32 kHz at 10 months of age compared to controls. In addition, the hair cells, spiral ganglion cells, ribbon synapses, stria vascularis and nerve fibers were all significantly better maintained in PQQ-treated animals compared to controls at 10 months of age. These physiological and histological results demonstrate that PQQ protects the auditory system from NIHL and ARHL in mice.

Heavy metals are often found in soil and can contaminate drinking water, posing a serious threat to human health. Molecular pathways and curation therapies for mitigating heavy metal toxicity have been studied for a long time. Recent studies on oxidative stress and aging have shown that the molecular foundation of cellular damage caused by heavy metals, namely, apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial stress, share the same pathways as those involved in cellular senescence and aging. In recent aging studies, many types of heavy metal exposures have been used in both cellular and animal aging models. Chelation therapy is a traditional treatment for heavy metal toxicity. However, recently, various antioxidants have been found to be effective in treating heavy metal-induced damage, shifting the research focus to investigating the interplay between antioxidants and heavy metals. In this review, we introduce the molecular basis of heavy metal-induced cellular damage and its relationship with aging, summarize its clinical implications, and discuss antioxidants and other agents with protective effects against heavy metal damage.

Abstract Objective Time restricted feeding (TRF), which is an intermittent fasting protocol, has been reported to decrease the toxicity and mortality rate associated with systemic gentamicin (GM) administration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of TRF on GM‐induced vestibular and auditory function in mice. Methods Japan Central Laboratory for Experimental Animals:Institute of Cancer Research (Jcl:ICR) mice were housed in a light–dark (LD) cycle (12:12) and were divided into three groups: (1) GM treatment at a dose of 220 mg/kg with TRF (feeding time: 8 h [9:00–17:00] during the light phase [7:00–19:00]) (GM + TRF group), (2) GM treatment at a dose of 220 mg/kg without TRF (GM group), and (3) saline injection with TRF (NS + TRF group). GM or saline was injected subcutaneously for 18 days (three courses of 5 days' injection + 2 days' rest, and an additional 3 days' injection). The auditory brainstem response (ABR) and vestibular evoked potential (VsEP) were tested after the treatments. The number of sensory hair cells in the cochlear organs and the vestibular organs were quantified using microscopic images. Results All animals survived until the end of the experiment. One day after the last injection, GM + TRF mice showed significantly lower ABR thresholds at 4 kHz compared to GM mice, and there was no significant difference between the GM + TRF and NS + TRF groups. There was a significant difference of VsEP between GM and GM + TRF mice only in symmetric parabolic waves with linear acceleration and ramps waveform stimulation. GM + TRF mice showed significantly less outer and inner hair cell loss compared to GM mice. GM + TRF mice showed significantly less type II hair cell loss in the utricle and the ampulla compared to GM mice. Conclusion TRF with daytime feeding reduced GM cytotoxicity in the cochlea and vestibular organs of ICR mice. Level of Evidence NA

The circadian system, which is essential for the alignment of sleep/wake cycles, modulates adult neurogenesis. The olfactory epithelium (OE) has the ability to generate new neurons throughout life. Loss of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) as a result of injury to the OE triggers the generation of new OSNs, which are incorporated into olfactory circuits to restore olfactory sensory perception. This regenerative potential means that it is likely that the OE is substantially affected by sleep deprivation (SD), although how this may occur remains unclear. The aim of this study is to address how SD affects the process of OSN regeneration following OE injury. Mice were subjected to SD for 2 weeks, which induced changes in circadian activity. This condition resulted in decreased activity during the night-time and increased activity during the daytime, and induced no histological changes in the OE. However, when subjected to SD during the regeneration process after OE injury, a significant decrease in the number of mature OSNs in the dorsomedial area of the OE, which is the only area containing neurons expressing NQO1 (quinone dehydrogenase 1), was observed compared to the NQO1-negative OE. Furthermore, a significant decrease in proliferating basal cells was observed in the NQO1-positive OE compared to the NQO1-negative OE, but no increase in apoptotic OSNs was observed. These results indicate that SD accompanied by disturbed circadian activity could induce structurally negative effects on OSN regeneration, preferentially in the dorsomedial area of the OE, and that this area-specific regeneration delay might involve the biological activity of NQO1.

BackgroundThe head impulse test is a valuable clinical test that can help identify peripheral vestibular dysfunction by observing corrective saccades that return the eyes to the target of interest. Corrective saccades have been classified as covert if the onset occurs before the end of the head impulse and as overt if they occur afterwards. However, the mechanism that trigger these saccades remain unclear.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to examine the role of neck input in generating overt as well as covert saccades.MethodsSixteen patients (9 males and 7 females: age 35-80 years, average 62.7 years old) who showed corrective saccades during the head impulse test were included. Twelve patients had unilateral vestibular dysfunction, and 4 patients had bilateral vestibular dysfunction. Patients underwent both the head impulse test (HIT) and the body impulse test (BIT) in a randomized order. While the head is rotated horizontally in HIT, the body is rotated horizontally in BIT. During BIT, the neck is fixed by a cervical collar (neck lock extrication collar) to reduce somatosensory input from the neck. The head movements and eye movements were recorded and analyzed by the video HIT recording system.ResultsIn all 16 patients, corrective saccades were observed in HIT as well as in BIT. While there were no significant differences in peak head velocities between HIT and BIT (p = 0.33, paired t-test), the VOR gain in BIT was significantly smaller than that in HIT (p = 0.011, paired t-test). The number of overt saccades per trial in BIT was significantly decreased compared to that in HIT (p < 0.001, paired t-test) whereas there were no significant differences in the number of covert saccades between the two tests. The proportion of overt saccades among all corrective saccades in BIT was significantly lower than the proportion in HIT (p < 0.001, paired t-test).ConclusionsSomatosensory input from the neck contributes to the generation of overt saccades and reinforces the vestibulo-ocular reflex complementing the retinal slip during high frequency head movements.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Abstract Oxidative stress causes tissue damage, affecting age-related pathologies. Protein restriction (PR) provides a powerful intervention strategy for reducing oxidative stress, which may have a positive effect on individual organs. However, it is unknown whether PR intervention influences the olfactory system. Here, we investigated how 10 months of PR could affect the cell dynamics of the olfactory epithelium (OE) in mice. We found that PR reduced age-related loss of outer hair cells in the cochlea, providing preventive effects against age-related hearing loss. In contrast, PR resulted in reduced mature olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), increased proliferative basal cells, and increased apoptotic OSNs in zone 1 (the only area containing neurons expressing NQO1 [quinone dehydrogenase 1]) of the OE in comparison with animals given a control diet. Substantial oxidative stress occurred in NQO1-positive cells and induced apoptotic OSNs in zone 1. These results indicate that in contrast to the positive effect on the auditory system, PR induces oxidative stress and structurally and functionally negative effects on OSNs in zone 1, which is probably involved in the bioactivation of NQO1.

Background: Vestibular dysfunction is a complication of cochlear implantation (CI). Reports on the evaluation of vestibular function before and after CI are limited, especially in children. We investigated the effect of CI on vestibular function in pediatric patients.Patients and Methods: We routinely evaluated vestibular function before but not immediately after CI. Therefore, patients who underwent sequential bilateral CI were enrolled in this study. Seventy-three children who underwent sequential CI from 2003 to 2020 at our hospital were included. Since the vestibular function of the first implanted ear was evaluated before the second surgery for the contralateral ear, post-CI evaluation timing differed among the cases. The evaluation included a caloric test, a cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) test, and a damped rotation test. The objective variables included the results of these tests, and the explanatory variables included the age at surgery, cause of hearing loss, electrode type, and surgical approach used. The associations of these tests were analyzed.Results: cVEMP was the most affected after CI (36.1%), followed by the caloric test (23.6%), and damped rotation test (7.8%). Cochleostomy was significantly more harmful than a round window (RW) approach or an extended RW approach based on the results of the caloric test (p = 0.035) and damped rotation test (p = 0.029). Perimodiolar electrodes affected the caloric test results greater than straight electrodes (p = 0.041). There were no significant associations among these tests' results.Conclusions: Minimally invasive surgery in children using a round window approach or an extended round window approach with straight electrodes is desirable to preserve vestibular function after CI.

Objective: To evaluate various machine learning algorithms in predicting peripheral vestibular dysfunction using the dataset of the center of pressure (COP) sway during foam posturography measured from patients with dizziness.Study Design: Retrospective study.Setting: Tertiary referral center.Patients: Seventy-five patients with vestibular dysfunction and 163 healthy controls were retrospectively recruited. The dataset included the velocity, the envelopment area, the power spectrum of the COP for three frequency ranges and the presence of peripheral vestibular dysfunction evaluated by caloric testing in 75 patients with vestibular dysfunction and 163 healthy controls.Main Outcome Measures: Various forms of machine learning algorithms including the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, Bagging Classifier, and Logistic Regression were trained. Validation and comparison were performed using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the recall of each algorithm using K-fold cross-validation.Results: The AUC (0.90 ± 0.06) and the recall (0.84 ± 0.07) of the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree were the highest among the algorithms tested, and both of them were significantly higher than those of the logistic regression (AUC: 0.85 ± 0.08, recall: 0.78 ± 0.07). The recall of the Bagging Classifier (0.82 ± 0.07) was also significantly higher than that of logistic regression.Conclusion: Machine learning algorithms can be successfully used to predict vestibular dysfunction as identified using caloric testing with the dataset of the COP sway during posturography. The multiple algorithms should be evaluated in each clinical dataset since specific algorithm does not always fit to any dataset. Optimization of the hyperparameters in each algorithm are necessary to obtain the highest accuracy.

Infectious and parasitic diseases ,RC109-216 - Abstract
A 39-year-old man presented with chief complaints of epistaxis and pain on the right cheek that lasted for approximately 2 months. A very hard calcified black mass with a foreign body was found in the right inferior nasal meatus. The patient underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery and antimicrobial therapy, which included intravenous injection of Penicillin G 4 million units 6 times/day for 1 week and oral amoxicillin 1500 mg/day for 6 months. Actinomyces species was identified from the calcified foreign body that measured 5 mm in size. There was no recurrence for 1 year after the surgery. Surgical removal and long-term high-dose penicillin for 6 months or longer are necessary because death caused by poor compliance with antibiotics have been reported in previous studies.

Geriatrics ,RC952-954.6 - Abstract
Auditory system senescence: Mitochondrial dynamics and respiration The mitochondrial morphology and physiology could influence the process of age-related hearing loss. Prof. Tatsuya Yamasoba’s research group at the University of Tokyo has examined the functional changes of mitochondria in terms of its respiratory function, membrane potential and morphology under premature senescence induced by oxidative stress in an auditory cell line. The morphological and functional mitochondrial damage were observed as the respiratory capacity deficiency and the fluctuation of the fusion/fission balance. Their results provide evidence of the fundamental interdependence between mitochondrial metabolic activity and its network structure in premature senescence process of auditory cells. This is a pioneer study to indicate the influence of mitochondrial dynamics and respiratory system on the premature senescence process of auditory cells. Further studies into inter cellular communication including cytoskeleton and nucleus can help us understand the etiology underlying age-related hearing loss.

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is induced by preceding conditions that cause balance disorders. To investigate the association between vestibular function and preceding balance disorders in PPPD patients, a retrospective chart review was performed. Vestibular function in 55 PPPD patients was measured using the caloric test, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential testing to air-conducted sound (ACS cVEMP), ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential testing to bone-conducted vibration (BCV oVEMP), and video head impulse testing (vHIT). Patients were classified according to the type of preceding balance disorder. The age-stratified Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel (CMH) test and the exact test for the common odds ratio were conducted to evaluate the association between preceding n ≥ 4 balance disorders and present peripheral vestibular dysfunction. PPPD patients with preceding vestibular neuritis presented a significant positive association with abnormal caloric responses (p = 0.013), while those with preceding benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) had significantly lower rates of abnormal BCV oVEMP (p = 0.003). Furthermore, patients with preceding vestibular neuritis showed lateral semicircular canal dysfunction, while those with preceding BPPV presented normal utricular functions. These results present the influence of preceding balance disorders on the vestibular function in PPPD.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), an oxidoreductase cofactor, on the H2O2-induced premature senescence model in HEI-OC1 auditory cells and to elucidate its mechanism of action in vitro. Cells were treated with PQQ for 1 day before H2O2 (100 μM) exposure. Mitochondrial respiratory capacity was damaged in this premature senescence model but was restored in cells pretreated with PQQ (0.1 nM or 1.0 nM). A decrease in mitochondrial potential, the promotion of mitochondrial fusion and the accelerated movement of mitochondria were all observed in PQQ-pretreated cells. The protein expression of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) were significantly decreased under H2O2 exposure while they were increased with PQQ pretreatment, and PGC-1α acetylation was significantly decreased. In conclusion, PQQ has a protective effect on the premature senescence model of HEI-OC1 auditory cells and is associated with the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway, mitochondrial structure, and mitochondrial respiratory capacity.

Objective: To evaluate various machine learning algorithms in predicting peripheral vestibular dysfunction using the dataset of the center of pressure (COP) sway during foam posturography measured from patients with dizziness. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Seventy-five patients with vestibular dysfunction and 163 healthy controls were retrospectively recruited. The dataset included the velocity, the envelopment area, the power spectrum of the COP for three frequency ranges and the presence of peripheral vestibular dysfunction evaluated by caloric testing in 75 patients with vestibular dysfunction and 163 healthy controls. Main Outcome Measures: Various forms of machine learning algorithms including the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, Bagging Classifier, and Logistic Regression were trained. Validation and comparison were performed using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the recall of each algorithm using K-fold cross-validation. Results: The AUC (0.90 ± 0.06) and the recall (0.84 ± 0.07) of the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree were the highest among the algorithms tested, and both of them were significantly higher than those of the logistic regression (AUC: 0.85 ± 0.08, recall: 0.78 ± 0.07). The recall of the Bagging Classifier (0.82 ± 0.07) was also significantly higher than that of logistic regression. Conclusion: Machine learning algorithms can be successfully used to predict vestibular dysfunction as identified using caloric testing with the dataset of the COP sway during posturography. The multiple algorithms should be evaluated in each clinical dataset since specific algorithm does not always fit to any dataset. Optimization of the hyperparameters in each algorithm are necessary to obtain the highest accuracy.

Ameliorating effect of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) on posture varies among subjects. In this feasibility study, we investigated the association between original postural instability and the ameliorating effect of nGVS on posture. Data were collected in a previously published study. Thirty healthy elderly were recruited. Two nGVS sessions (30 min or 3 h) were performed in a randomised order. The optimal intensity of nGVS, the most effective intensity for improving posture, was determined before each session. Posture was measured for 30 s during and after nGVS in the eyes-closed/foam rubber condition. The velocity, envelopment area, and root mean square of the centre of pressure movement without nGVS were significantly larger in the group with an optimal intensity than those in the group without an optimal intensity. There was a significant positive correlation between these values and the long-term ameliorating effects. The ratio of the values in the eyes-closed/foam rubber condition to those in the eyes-open condition was significantly larger in the group with an optimal intensity, and had a significant correlation with the long-term ameliorating effects. The ameliorating effects are greater in subjects who were originally unstable and in those whose postural stability was relatively independent of vestibular input.

Exercise (Ex) and caloric restriction (CR) reduce oxidative stress and improve organ function. For instance, voluntary Ex or CR is known to reduce age-related cochlear damage in male C57BL/6J mice. However, the effect of Ex and CR on the olfactory system is unknown. In this study, we confirmed the positive effect of Ex and CR on age-related cochlear damage, but found that Ex and CR affected negatively cell dynamics in the olfactory epithelium (OE) by reducing the number of mature olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and increasing the number of proliferative basal cells and apoptotic OSNs in the dorsal zone of the olfactory epithelium (OE), which contains neurons expressing NADPH quinone oxido-reductase 1 (NQO1). In addition, these interventions resulted in lower odor-induced c-fos expression in areas of the olfactory bulb receiving projections from dorsal-zone OSNs than in areas receiving ventral-zone projections. Further, we observed substantial oxidative stress in NQO1-positive cells and apoptotic OSNs in the dorsal zone in Ex and CR animals. These results suggest that, in contrast to their positive effects in other organs, Ex and CR facilitate oxidative stress and negatively impact structure and function in dorsal-zone OSNs, probably in association with NQO1 bioactivation.

Objective Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) delivered as zero-mean current noise (noisy GVS) has been shown to improve static and dynamic postural stability probably by enhancing vestibular information. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an imperceptible level noisy GVS on ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) in response to bone-conducted vibration (BCV). Materials and methods oVEMPs to BCV were measured during the application of white noise GVS with an amplitude ranging from 0 to 300 µA [in root mean square (RMS)] in 20 healthy subjects. Artifacts in the oVEMPs caused by GVS were reduced by inverting the waveforms of noisy GVS in the later half of the stimulus from the one in the early half. We examined the amplitudes of N1 and N1–P1 and their latencies. Results Noisy GVS significantly increased the N1 and N1–P1 amplitudes (p 0.05). Noisy GVS had facilitatory effects in 79% of ears. The amplitude of the optimal stimulus was 127 ± 14 µA, and it increased the N1 and N1–P1 amplitude by 75.9 ± 15% and 47.7 ± 9.1%, respectively, as compared with 0 µA session (p

We aimed at determining the mitochondrial function in premature senescence model of auditory cells. Short exposure to H2O2 (1 h, 0.1 mM) induced premature cellular senescence in House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 auditory cells. The transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that damaged mitochondria and autophagosomes containing dense organelles appeared in the auditory cells after short exposure to H2O2. The branch and junction parameters of the skeletonized image of the mitochondria were found to decrease significantly in H2O2-treated cells. A branched reticulum of tubules was poorly formed, featuring coexistence of numerous tiny clusters along with few relatively large entities in the H2O2-treated cells. In terms of bioenergetics, H2O2-treatment led to the dose-dependent decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential in the auditory cells. The fragmented mitochondria (fusion fission) was slightly lower than the control cells. The short-time exposure of live auditory cells to H2O2 damaged the mitochondrial respiratory capacity without any effect on the baseline ATP production rates. The vulnerability of the mitochondrial membrane potential to the uncoupling reagent was increased after H2O2 treatment. Our findings indicated that the mitochondrial dysfunction due to the decline in the O2 consumption rate should be the first event of premature senescence process in the auditory cells, resulting in the imbalance of mitochondrial fusion/fission and the collapse of the mitochondrial network., Auditory system senescence: Mitochondrial dynamics and respiration The mitochondrial morphology and physiology could influence the process of age-related hearing loss. Prof. Tatsuya Yamasoba’s research group at the University of Tokyo has examined the functional changes of mitochondria in terms of its respiratory function, membrane potential and morphology under premature senescence induced by oxidative stress in an auditory cell line. The morphological and functional mitochondrial damage were observed as the respiratory capacity deficiency and the fluctuation of the fusion/fission balance. Their results provide evidence of the fundamental interdependence between mitochondrial metabolic activity and its network structure in premature senescence process of auditory cells. This is a pioneer study to indicate the influence of mitochondrial dynamics and respiratory system on the premature senescence process of auditory cells. Further studies into inter cellular communication including cytoskeleton and nucleus can help us understand the etiology underlying age-related hearing loss.

Vestibular dysfunction causes postural instability, which is prevalent in the elderly. We previously showed that an imperceptible level of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) can improve postural stability in patients with bilateral vestibulopathy during the stimulus, presumably by enhancing vestibular information processing. In this study, we investigated the after-effects of an imperceptible long-duration nGVS on body balance in elderly adults. Thirty elderly participants underwent two nGVS sessions in a randomised order. In Session 1, participants received nGVS for 30 min twice with a 4-h interval. In Session 2, participants received nGVS for 3 h. Two-legged stance tasks were performed with eyes closed while participants stood on a foam rubber surface, with and without nGVS, and parameters related to postural stability were measured using posturography. In both sessions, the postural stability was markedly improved for more than 2 h after the cessation of the stimulus and tended to decrease thereafter. The second stimulation in Session 1 caused a moderate additional improvement in body balance and promoted the sustainability of the improvement. These results suggest that nGVS can lead to a postural stability improvement in elderly adults that lasts for several hours after the cessation of the stimulus, probably via vestibular neuroplasticity.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is involved in several apoptotic and necrotic cell death pathways in auditory tissues. These pathways are the major causes of most types of sensorineural hearing loss, including age-related hearing loss, hereditary hearing loss, ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss, and noise-induced hearing loss. ROS production can be triggered by dysfunctional mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and increases or decreases in ROS-related enzymes. Although apoptotic cell death pathways are mostly activated by ROS production, there are other pathways involved in hearing loss that do not depend on ROS production. Further studies of other pathways, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress and necrotic cell death, are required.
