Hi,

00:00:07.090 --> 00:00:12.040
my name is Navy Bangalore and I am
part of the global center for speech

00:00:12.070 --> 00:00:13.270
and hearing research.

00:00:14.230 --> 00:00:18.490
Our research focuses on
the issue of presbycusis or

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.530
age-related hearing loss and
affects one in three people from the

00:00:23.530 --> 00:00:25.990
ages of 63 to 75.

00:00:26.950 --> 00:00:31.810
Currently there is no known cure
for uses only the instruments

00:00:31.810 --> 00:00:36.520
that can help with the symptoms
such as hearing aids, inflammation,

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:41.020
and cochlear, oxidative stress have
been linked to age-related hearing loss.

00:00:41.410 --> 00:00:46.180
So we decided to look into an
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory amino

00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:50.560
acid or about dine-in to see if
it will slow down or prevent the

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.950
degradation of the cochlea,
which in turn prevents,

00:00:53.980 --> 00:00:58.690
age-related hearing loss for a
little background information or go

00:00:58.700 --> 00:01:03.670
dining has many therapeutic uses
as shown here in figure three.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:11.600
It is a natural compound that can be
easily acquired in our diets through foods

00:01:11.630 --> 00:01:13.490
such as mushrooms and beans.

00:01:14.690 --> 00:01:17.090
Over the course of six months,

00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:21.920
we measured the mice's hearing
using an auditory brainstem

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:22.753
response

00:01:26.030 --> 00:01:30.650
Figure four shows the results for
the ABR threshold readings for the

00:01:30.650 --> 00:01:35.630
control, low dose and high dose
groups for male and female mice.

00:01:37.310 --> 00:01:41.150
Age-related hearing loss is shown
through a gradual elevation of these

00:01:41.150 --> 00:01:44.690
thresholds and for the treated male mice,

00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:49.850
the thresholds stayed
relatively same indicating that

00:01:49.850 --> 00:01:51.920
there was no hearing loss occurring.

00:01:52.850 --> 00:01:57.290
The year five shows the amplitudes of
the first peaks in the male nights.

00:01:58.250 --> 00:02:03.200
The first peak readings showed the low
dose males had better hearing because

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.610
of the higher amplitudes.

00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:09.740
The first peak of an ABR reflects
the response of the cochlear nerve

00:02:10.310 --> 00:02:14.870
and the high amplitudes can conclude that
the cochlear nerve health was impacted

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:19.880
and improved based on these
results or go dining has

00:02:19.880 --> 00:02:23.180
shown promising potential to
be used as a therapeutic drug.

00:02:23.990 --> 00:02:27.500
Thank you so much for listening
to this presentation. Goodbye.
