Congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) occurs in 0.5–1% of live births and approximately 10% of infected infants develop hearing loss. The mechanism(s) of hearing loss remain unknown. We developed a murine model of CMV induced hearing loss in which murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection of newborn mice leads to hematogenous spread of virus to the inner ear, induction of inflammatory responses, and hearing loss. Characteristics of the hearing loss described in infants with congenital HCMV infection were observed including, delayed onset, progressive hearing loss, and unilateral hearing loss in this model and, these characteristics were viral inoculum dependent. Viral antigens were present in the inner ear as were CD3+ mononuclear cells in the spiral ganglion and stria vascularis. Spiral ganglion neuron density was decreased after infection, thus providing a mechanism for hearing loss. The lack of significant inner ear histopathology and persistence of inflammation in cochlea of mice with hearing loss raised the possibility that inflammation was a major component of the mechanism(s) of hearing loss in MCMV infected mice. Congenital infection with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common viral infection of the fetus and occurs in 0.5–2.0% of all live births in most regions in the world. Infection of the fetus can result in a spectrum of end-organ disease, including long term damage to the central nervous system (CNS). Although less than 10% of infected infants exhibit clinical evidence of end-organ disease, up to 10% of the total number of infected infants develop hearing loss. Mechanisms of disease leading to hearing loss are poorly understood because of the limited availability of pathological specimens and accessibility of the inner ear. Existing small animal models fail to recapitulate many features of this infection of the inner ear. In this report we describe a mouse model in which newborn animals infected peripherally with murine CMV develop hearing loss following hematogenous spread of virus to the inner ear. Hearing loss occurs in 30–50% of animals and characteristics of hearing loss in infants with congenital HCMV infection, including delayed onset of hearing loss, progressive hearing loss, and unilateral hearing loss were present in infected mice. Our findings suggest that host derived inflammatory responses and not direct virus-mediated cytopathology are responsible for hearing loss. Findings from this study provide insight into potential mechanisms of hearing loss in infants with congenital HCMV infection.
