Abstract
Two areas of auditory biochemistry are reviewed: the identification and characterization of neurotransmitters in the auditory system and the biochemical approach to the study of genetic hearing disorders. Studies to identify neurotransmitters at major auditory synapses are outlined. Evidence supporting glutamate or aspartate as the neurotransmitter for the auditory nerve is presented. The application of biochemistry to the study of genetic hearing disorders is discussed.
