Participation in Study

Local ImageResearch into neural regeneration and the utilization of stem cells hold hope for millions of Americans who are affected by deafness, blindness, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurological disorders. The members of our lab are investigating those topics and seeking to discover methods for the stimulating the regeneration of neurosensory cells and means for preventing their loss.

However it may be many years before the study is complete. There are several options available today which address issues with hearing loss. For additional information, please visit the University of Virginia Department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery.
