Decibel Therapeutics, a Boston-based biotech developing drugs for hearing loss, has launched with $52 million in its first round of funding. Third Rock Ventures led the Series A financing, with SR One, the venture arm of GlaxoSmithKline, contributing.

Decibel will target disorders including hearing loss stemming from antibiotic use, noise-induced hearing loss, age-related hearing loss, and tinnitus.
