The role of the stria vascularis in neglected otologic disease.

ABSTRACT: The stria vascularis (SV) has been shown to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of many diseases associated with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), including age-related hearing loss (ARHL), noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), hereditary hearing loss (HHL), and drug-induced hearing loss (DIHL), among others. There are a number of other disorders of hearing loss that may be relatively neglected due to being underrecognized, poorly understood, lacking robust diagnostic criteria or effective treatments. A few examples of these diseases include autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) and/or autoinflammatory inner ear disease (AID), Meniere's disease (MD), sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), and cytomegalovirus (CMV)-related hearing loss (CRHL). Although these diseases may often differ i
