Abstract excerpt
Age-related hearing loss (AHL) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is largely silent in its initial stages. There is no sensitive blood biomarker for diagnosis or early detection of AHL. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are abundant and highly stable in blood, and have been recently described as powerful circulating biomarkers in a wide range of diseases. In the present study, we identified concordant...
