Mechanisms of Auditory Development, Maintenance, Damage, and Protection Auditory perception is fundamental to human experience, making this topic highly significant in contemporary research. Although auditory research has advanced our understanding of the mechanisms of acquired hearing loss, including noise-and ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss, and age-related hearing impairment, various challenges and limitations persist. Currently, there are no clinical pharmaceutical therapies for the prevention and treatment of acquired hearing loss, and the need for effective protection strategies underscore the urgency of further exploring the complexities of auditory functioning and protection. Molecular neuroscience plays a pivotal role in elucidating the complexities of auditory development, maintenance, injury, and protection. This series of articles explores gene and molecular neuroscience mechanisms, cell death pathways, multi-omics analysis, clinical translation, and disease association studies, achieving substantial progress in unraveling the mechanisms of auditory
