Noise-induced hearing loss leads to damage to the inner ear. The pathways responsible for this phenomenon are poorly understood. The objective of the project, led by ENT intern Luc Boullaud under the supervision of Professor David Bakhos, is to compare the differences in molecular levels between an inner ear with normal hearing and one with noise-induced hearing loss. The highlighted differences would improve our understanding of the causes of noise-induced hearing loss and enable the identification of biological markers. In the future, this will lead the way to the development of suitable therapeutic solutions, both preventive and curative.

Dr. David Bakhos, an ENT surgeon at Tours University Hospital, was awarded the 2019 Early Career Scientific Prize for Clinical Research in recognition of this work on the neurophysiological markers of hearing performance. He has identified the markers of hearing in the brain, providing a better understanding of the mechanisms leading to hearing loss and explaining the variability in performance among patients in auditory rehabilitation. The ultimate aim of his work is to improve treatment for patients.
Dr. Bakhos has also contributed to ENT surgical training by developing a 3D model of the temporal bone.
