This volume is dedicated to our friend and colleague, Dr. Judith A. Finkelstein, for her sustained interest in the field and her exceptionally strong support for research during her years at the National Institute on Aging (1995-2006) of the National Institutes of Health. Her efforts were instrumental in guiding new and seasoned investigators alike toward securing funding for research on age-related hearing loss and fostering communication between researchers to promote innovative scientific developments in this area. This volume showcases the work of many of the investigators with whom Dr. Finkelstein worked, either as chapter authors or as authors of hundreds of citations that are referenced throughout. The senior volume editors also wish to express their appreciation to their spouses, Steven and Susan, for their love and support through all of the late-night experiments, the grant and paper deadlines, and travel to sometimes unusual meeting sites.
