Auditory Research
Turner Scientific
Turner Scientific serves as Sinclair’s niche expert in auditory and vestibular research, offering our sponsors the ability to evaluate their compounds, therapies, and devices for efficacy and potential for ototoxicity. We have a seamless relationship whereby Turner Scientific provides the otic-specific support, communication, and expertise for sponsors seeking GLP and/or small species hearing testing. Leveraging Turner Scientific’s expertise, we use ABR/DPOAE assessments and behavioral audiometry to evaluate hearing and tinnitus, and harvest temporal bones to quantify hair cells and ribbon synapses using confocal laser microscopy (cytocochleograms).
