A number of somatic stem cells have been used in inner ear research. In this chapter, two stem cells, mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells, are the focus, because these stem cells have already utilized in clinical settings. Of mesenchymal stem cells, the potential of bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived stem cells for the treatment of the inner ear is reviewed. As for hematopoietic stem cells, their contribution to the maintenance of inner ear cell circumstances is introduced.
