The Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) is the largest hearing and balance research event in the world. The Hearing Research Group attended this conference to showcase the research from the team. It was also a good opportunity to meet with current collaborators, alongside making new connections to promote the research ongoing at Sheffield.

Supporting cells in the cochlea are essential for hearing, in spite of this, there is little research into the mechanisms contributing to the process.

Find the paper below from the Hearing Research Group which discusses the effects of age-related changes on cochlear supporting cells.
