Summary

Like retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy, sensorineural hearing loss is a common and underserved complication of uncontrolled diabetes. Neuroinflammation in diabetes can cause auditory nerve damage (cochlear synaptopathy) which first translates into speech-in-noise intelligibility deficit. CIL001 is a neurotrophic small molecule that aims to repair auditory nerve when applied locally by transtympanic injection. Transtympanic injection of paliroden is anticipated to improve the symptoms of cochlear synaptopathy. Furthermore, by addressing auditory or vestibular dysfunction early and effectively, this approach may contribute to limiting or delaying, over the long term, the onset of secondary neurological disorders, such as dementia.
