Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), a multifactorial progressive disorder, results from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors, with its underlying mechanisms remaining unclear. Several pathological factors are believed to contribute to SNHL, including genetic factors, ion homeostasis, cell apoptosis, immune inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, hormones, metabolic syndrome, human cytomegalovirus infection, mitochondrial damage, and impaired autophagy. These factors collectively interact and play significant roles in the onset and progression of SNHL. The present review offers a comprehensive overview of the various factors that contribute to SNHL, emphasizes recent developments in understanding its etiology, and explores relevant preventive and intervention measures.

Usher syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that primarily affects both vision and hearing, manifesting as sensorineural hearing loss and progressive vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa. The pathogenesis of retinal degeneration in Usher syndrome is still largely unknown. In this study, a novel Ush2a knockout mouse model was successfully constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
