Abstract：Damage of sensory hair cells in the inner ear is one of the most common pathogeny to cause sensorineural deafness, while searching for therapies for regenerating damaged hair cells has been an important research aspect. With their embryos and larvae being hyaline and their hair cells located in the lateral line exposing to the environment, as well as their short breeding cycles, strong reproduction capacity, and a 87%homology to human genome, zebrafish can be used as a model system for hair-cell study. In the last few decades, there have been many studies focusing on the mechanism of injury and re?generation of zebrafish hair cells. Here, we review recent discoveries in this field.
