According to a Reuters report, French researchers have recently seen that one kind of inner ear protein can help people distinguish voices and understand conversations. The fruit of this research can help solve the problem of hearing impairment.
French researcher Paul Awang said that this 1 can not be used to treat deafness, but it helps to explain why some people will flash hearing impairment, especially in noisy environments.
The researchers conducted experiments on genetically modified mice to study the cochlea of ​​the inner ear. The cochlea contains two types of nerve cells that recognize sound. I feel that the "ion channels" inside nerve cells are important to the mission of "sound distortion" in the inner ear. The use of ion channels is similar to that of microphones, which can convert sound into electronic information and transmit it to the brain. The link of sound distortion is very important, which enables people to distinguish the required sound from the mixed noise.
The researchers saw that it is not the ion channels that maintain the nerve cells that are not destroyed, but a protein called sclerostin, which can properly distort the sound of the inner ear.
Awang and his colleagues published a research report in the "Nature" weekly magazine that mice lacking sclerostin still have hearing impairments even when the ion channels are working properly.
