Methods Six patients with Motoric Cognitive Risk syndrome at high risk for dementia were enrolled, three assigned to goal-directed exercises and three to stretching exercises. All participants underwent an in-person training session followed by a session at home with a telephonic coach. Sessions were supervised by a physiatrist, and exercise programs were personalized. Results In-person training and remote telephonic coaching support promoted adherence. There were no adverse effects and interventions were rated highly. Participant and logistical barriers were identified that can inform design of home-based clinical trials. Conclusion Home-based exercises are safe and feasible in older adults with Motoric Cognitive Risk.Significance Acquired sensorineural hearing loss is a major public health problem worldwide. The leading causes of sensorineural hearing loss are noise, aging, and ototoxic medications, with the key underlying pathology being damage to the cochlea. The review focuses on the phenomenon of preconditioning, in which the susceptibility to cochlear injury is reduced by exposing the ear to a stressful stimulus. Recent Advances Cochlear conditioning has focused on the use of mono-modal conditioning, specifically conditioning the cochlea with moderate noise exposures before a traumatic exposure that causes permanent hearing loss. Recently, cross-modal conditioning has been explored more thoroughly, to prevent not only noise-induced hearing loss, but also age-related and drug-induced hearing losses. Critical Issues Noise exposures that cause only temporary threshold shifts (TTSs) can cause long-term synaptopathy, injury to the synapses between the inner hair cells and spiral ganglion cells. This discovery has the potential to sig
