Acousia Therapeutics GmbH identifies small molecules for treatment of hearing loss. The firm develops drugs for local application, which will protect hearing function or restore hearing in patients who have lost their hearing ability due to various reasons. It also develops small molecule compounds that trigger regeneration of sensory hair cells and therefore allow casual treatment of sensorineural hearing loss in patients who already lost their hair cells years ago. The company was founded by Hubert Löwenheim and Karl-Heinz Wiesmüller in 2012 and is headquartered in Tübingen, Germany.
