Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common sensory problem that causes permanent hearing loss due to the damage of cochlear hair cells. Current clinical imaging techniques do not provide sufficient resolution and functional assessment of the intracochlear structures. We developed a dual-mode endoscopic system that combines optical coherence tomography and autofluorescence to visualize the morphology and biochemical changes of the intracochlear structures. The preclinical assessment of the system was performed in a ovine model of SNHL in vivo. The preliminary results suggest that this approach may provide more accurate diagnosis of cochlear pathology and enable targeted SNHL therapies.
