Abstract

© 2019 Elsevier España, S.L.U. y Asociación Española de Logopedia, Foniatría y Audiología e Iberoamericana de Fonoaudiología There are 360 million people who suffers some kind of Hearing loss disability according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Currently, the electronic devices such as hearing aids or implantable devices both cochlear and osseointegrated, are the most useful treatments to hearing loss rehabilitation. The following review summarized both the advances that have occurred in the auditory rehabilitation with stem cells, and how they have helped in the generation of new hair cells and auditory neurons. Besides, both the combined use with cochlear implants and how it helps to create networks between the hair cells and the auditory neuron was reviewed. Although, there is a long way to go and solving some problems, such as implantation in the wall or the spiral ganglion of cells or neurons created exogenously, this kind of therapy opens a solution for a rehabilitation which would be the solution definitive for hearing impairment.

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Revista de Logopedia, Foniatria y Audiologia due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Dialnet (Dialnet Métricas). In the year of publication of the work, 2019, thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil).

Notably, the journal is positioned in the Quartile Q3 for the agency Scopus (SJR), in the category Lpn and Lvn, classified as D in other national agencies such as CIRC, classified as C by the agency AGUAR.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-08-02:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 9.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 30 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 3.7.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 5 (Altmetric).
