The objective of this study is to compare student satisfaction and confidence following a presentation of the inner ear anatomy using either a 2D model or a 3D model. First-year medical students were randomized to a 2D or 3D teaching group and given a presentation on the inner ear. Students were surveyed on confidence levels pre- and post-presentation, helpfulness of the presentation, and completed the student satisfaction and self confidence in learning (SCLS) questionnaire. 30 first-year medical students participated in the study: 14 in the 2D model and 16 in the 3D model group. A statistical significance was found between the 2D and 3D group regarding the helpfulness of the model ( = 0.0147), Q1 of the SCLS questionnaire ( = 0.0365), and Q12 of the SCLS questionnaire ( = 0.0308). The use of a 3D model of the inner ear aids in student self-confidence regarding the material and is perceived to be helpful with learning the material.

The membranous labyrinth of the inner ear is a complex network of endolymph-filled structures critical for auditory and vestibular function. Pathological distension of these spaces, termed endolymphatic hydrops (EH), is associated with disorders such as Ménière's disease (MD). However, diagnosing inner ear pathologies remains challenging due to limitations in traditional imaging techniques, which lack the spatial resolution required to assess these intricate structures.

Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are crucial for transmitting auditory signals from the inner ear to the brainstem, playing a pivotal role in the peripheral hearing process. However, SGNs are usually damaged by a variety of insults, which causes permanent hearing loss. Generating SGNs from stem cells represents a promising strategy for advancing cell-replacement therapies to treat sensorineural hearing loss.

The tectorial membrane extracellular matrix in the cochlea controls auditory transduction, but its earliest development remains unclear. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Niazi et al. have provided insight into tectorial membrane formation, demonstrating proteolytic shedding early in development and interaction with α-tectorin and collagen.

Haploinsufficiency of the ATP6V1B2, a subunit of V-ATPases, underlies genetic disorders including Dominant deafness-onychodystrophy (DDOD), deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy, mental retardation and seizures (DOORS), and Zimmermann-Laband syndromes, all characterized by congenital hearing loss and onychodystrophy. Effective therapies for ATP6V1B2-associated hearing loss remain elusive. The study generates a hair cell-specific knockout mouse (Atp6v1b2;Atoh1) recapitulating the human phenotypes, with pathological features including hair cell loss and abnormal lysosomal morphology and function.
