Following the onset of sensorineural hearing loss, degeneration of mechanosensitive hair cells and spiral ganglion cells (SGCs) in humans and animals occurs to variable degrees, with a trend for greater neural degeneration with greater duration of deafness. Emergence of the cochlear implant prosthesis has provided much needed aid to many hearing impaired patients and has become a well-recognized therapy worldwide. However, ongoing peripheral nerve fiber regression and subsequent degeneration of SGC bodies can reduce the neural targets of cochlear implant stimulation and diminish its function. There is increasing interest in bio-engineering approaches that aim to enhance cochlear implant efficacy by preventing SGC body degeneration and/or regenerating peripheral nerve fibers into the deaf sensory epithelium. We review the advancements inmaintaining and regeneratingnerves indamaged animal cochleae, with an emphasis on the therapeutic capacity of neurotrophic factorsdelivered to the inner ear after an insult. Additionally, we summarize the histological process of neuronal degeneration in the inner ear and describe different animal models that have been employed to study this mechanism. Research on enhancing the biological infrastructure of the deafened cochlea in order to improve cochlear implant efficacy is of immediate clinical importance.
