Paper Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2010 hearing loss affected more than 278 million people
worldwide. The loss of hearing and communication has significant consequences on the emotional well-being of each
affected individual. The estimated socio-economic impact is about $100 billion in unrealized household income per year.
Despite this impact on society, no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug intervention is available today
that would either protect or reverse the effects of hearing loss. A limiting factor for all efforts to validate drugs for
treatment relates to the time consuming animal experiments and subsequent histology. Here, we present an imaging
method that is superior to current gold standard methods in flexibility and time for evaluation of histology. Tissue
processing times are reduced from weeks to hours. As an example, we show that Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor
(BDNF) reduces the effect of noise induced hearing loss.
