Molecule Required for the Regeneration of Auditory
Hair Cells

A January 2020 Hearing Research study by Liangcai Wan, M.D., and HRP consortium members Michael Lovett, Ph.D., Mark Warchol, Ph.D., and Jennifer Stone, Ph.D., explored the roles of a molecule called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in auditory hair cell regeneration in chickens.

Hearing Health Foundation (HHF) is the largest non-profit funder of hearing research. Since 1958, HHF has given away millions of dollars to hearing and balance research, including work that led to cochlear implant technology and now through the Hearing Restoration Project is working on a cure for hearing loss and tinnitus. HHF also publishes Hearing Health magazine, a free consumer resource on hearing loss and related technology, research, and products.
