DESCRIPTION:*A thousand ways to lose your hearing.*\n\nProgressive hearing
  loss is very common\, particularly as people get older\, and there are no
  medical treatments to slow down or stop the progression for the vast majo
 rity of cases. Hearing loss is highly heterogeneous\, both in its causes a
 nd in the resulting pathology. Therefore\, we are likely to need a range o
 f different therapies for different causes and different sites-of-lesion w
 ithin the inner ear. Some types of pathology may be treatable\, even rever
 sible\, while other pathologies may not be treatable. Therefore\, diagnosi
 s of the cause\, or at least the site-of-lesion\, will be important to str
 atify patients for clinical trials\, then to select the best treatment for
  each person. In this talk\, I will summarise our understanding of the dif
 ferent ways we can lose our hearing\, our progress using model systems to 
 establish which types of pathology could be reversed\, and how mouse mutan
 ts are giving us clues to how to distinguish different sites-of-lesion.\n\
