Description:

Acousia Therapeutics GmbH is a privately held biotech company based in Tübingen, Germany. Acousia has experience and expertise in identifying and developing small molecule drug candidates for the treatment of hearing loss. Sensory hair cells are the key cells for hearing in the inner ear. Acousia`s approach will help to replace lost hair cells by cellular regeneration originating from supporting cells. ASpherecousia is developing drugs for local application, which will restore hearing in patients who have lost their hearing ability induced by various reasons, e.g. noise trauma, treatment with ototoxic drugs or sudden deafness. In addition, these therapies will have the potential to treat the age-related decrease in hearing capacity.
