The contribution of genes involved in potassium-recycling in the inner ear to noise-induced hearing loss

Noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most important occupational diseases and, after presbyacusis, the most frequent cause of hearing loss. NIHL is a complex disease caused by an interaction between environmental and genetic factors. The various environmental factors involved in NIHL have...
