Cytotoxicity studies of an optoacoustic stimulation strategy for the development of laser-based hearing aids. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • About 460 million people around the world have trouble hearing, and many can't get the help they need from current hearing aids.
  • Scientists are trying out a new way to help with hearing using laser light to stimulate the ear, which could be better than what we have now.
  • They tested how safe this laser treatment is on certain human cells, and found some promising results, but they need to keep studying to make it even better.

Article Abstract

Significance: Worldwide, ∼460  million people suffer from disabling hearing impairment. Many of these patients are still not sufficiently supplied with currently available auditory technologies. Optical stimulation of the hearing organ offers a promising alternative for a new generation of auditory prostheses.

Aim: To assess the biocompatibility margins of our laser pulse amplitude strategy in vitro, we designed a protocol and present the effects on normal human dermal fibroblasts, human chondrocytes, and human osteoblasts.

Approach: Laser pulses of 532 nm were applied over 120 s using our laser pulse amplitude modulation strategy. We then assessed cell viability and cytotoxicity through fluorescence staining and quantitative polymerase chain reaction-analysis regarding 84 key player-genes for cytotoxicity and stress response.

Results: The first in vitro biocompatibility margins for our stimulation parameters applied to cells of the peripheral hearing organ were between 200 and 223 mW (3348  J/cm2). After irradiation with a subphototoxic laser power of 199 mW (2988  J/cm2), only the fibroblasts showed a significant upregulation of GADD45G.

Conclusion: Further studies are underway to optimize parameters for the optoacoustic stimulation of the auditory system. Our protocol and results on laser-tissue interactions can be useful for translational laser applications in various other irradiated biological tissues.
