A study (linked below) published in Neuron in 2012 reported a return of hearing in rats related to transdifferentiation of support cells into hair cell after administration of a y-secretase inhibitor compound. I haven't really looked into this much but it seems very interesting. Below are links including sourcing of some Y-secretase compounds.
