This could lead a way to fix Tinnitus, there's many causes of Tinnitus but it's almost always thought to be trauma to the Cochlea organ / structure.
There's many cells involved in sensing and relaying signals to the brain, and are damaged by a growing list of things (Antibiotics, viral, Osteoporosis, lack of blood flow, Acoustic trauma, protein loss - long lived proteins in the Cochlea). Even our own immune system has the ability to damage the Cochlea.
There is actually limited recovery of the OHC's at least but lack of regeneration potential. If there's a path to regenerate, it could one day fix the underlying cause and with this news it seems we're closer than we ever have been.
