Study Achieves Supranormal Hearing in Mice, Shedding Light on Hidden Hearing Loss in Humans

A recent study by Michigan Medicine’s Kresge Hearing Research Institute achieved supranormal hearing in mice, revealing insights into hidden hearing loss causes in humans. By increasing neurotrophin-3 in the inner ear, researchers enhanced auditory processing beyond natural capabilities in young mice. This groundbreaking research could pave the way for improving auditory processing in humans, particularly those with age-related hearing loss.
