Potential uses of auditory nerve stimulation to modulate immune responses in the inner ear and auditory brainstem by Benjamin J. Seicol, Benjamin J. Seicol, Zixu Guo, Zixu Guo, Katy Garrity, Ruili Xie, Ruili Xie

“…In conjunction with recent findings, we propose here a new perspective, which could be applied alongside advancing technologies, to use auditory nerve (AN) stimulation to modulate immune responses in hearing health disorders and following surgeries for auditory implants. In this article we will: (1) review the mechanisms of inflammation in the auditory system in relation to various forms of hearing loss, (2) explore nerve stimulation to reduce inflammation throughout the body and how similar neural-immune circuits likely exist in the auditory system (3) summarize current methods for stimulating the auditory system, particularly the AN, and (4) propose future directions to use bioelectronic medicine to ameliorate harmful immune responses in the inner ear and auditory brainstem to treat refractory conditions. …”
