[QUOTE]Scientists have found a potential cure for permanent deafness caused by loud noise exposure, infection and toxic drugs, using a drug that stimulates the inner ear.[/QUOTE] [url]http://thepositive.com/science-cure-hearing-loss/[/url]
Well this is good news! Now when I work for eight hours listening to music and become deaf, I can be cured!
i hope they get somewhere with this, i live in a state of constant ringing in my left ear. while i don't know if it was caused by loud music, i'm open to trying literally any medical whatever to get rid of it.
Sounds good!

I'm curious what the side effects may be. This would be great for musicians and people in general, but if there's something in your body that prevents those hairs from growing, why does the human body respond that way, and may it interfere with other actions within the body.

Can anyone find the real source?, I can't find anything ...

The protein is sent out after puberty or whatnot to be like "right let's not get super sensitive, let's stop our ear production shit". The body cannot supress this notch thing after the ears have been damaged as only we can perceive that we've got damage to our ears, not our body. Same reason about eye sight loss due to looking at bright things. Our body does not know our cones are damaged, yet we can perceive they are [i] All of this is from the scientific journal of My Ass, with references from Common Sense and Educated Guesses [/i]
I read it as "nose-induced hearing loss" and that's the reason I clicked here. Very disappointed.
I'm not even sure if I've got tinnitus. If there's no sound around me I hearing a ringing in my ears, but I've never known otherwise, it just seems normal to me. I can't even imagine what absolute silence would sound like, I don't know if I've ever heard it. It's just a strange concept; what does absolute silence sound like? I'd imagine it's like asking what "nothing" would look like.

Holy shit yes! I can get my right ear fixed!
I have like, perfect hearing for my age so if I ever lose it, this is great
I thought I read on SH a while back how hearing loss from loud noises was more of a defense mechanism rather than damage.
[QUOTE=PN_Redux;42356854]I thought I read on SH a while back how hearing loss from loud noises was more of a defense mechanism rather than damage.[/QUOTE] that's temporary hearing loss. Like if you've just been to a gig, whenever they finish a song and for the next hour or so after the concert has finished, your hearing is much less receptive
i'd totally try this

I wonder which "toxic drugs" it refers to

Nice. I've got tinnitus in my left ear and by now have just learned to live with it, but it would be amazing for it to just go away. I imagine I would sleep way better.

No matter how well you soundproof your house, or how secluded the stretch of woods you're in is, there's always going to be SOMETHING. Creaking wood, wind rustling through leaves, distant cars, etc. There hasn't been a moment in your life when you haven't heard something somewhere. If all of that disappeared, and nothing took its place, I would imagine your brain would start making its own sounds. You would start hearing the normally inaudible sounds of your own body. Your heartbeat would be incredibly loud, and your ears would start ringing. I'd imagine it's not the greatest thing for your mental health. Oh and curing hearing loss is super neat. Good on you, science.

Good, I can play Arma 2 with JSRS at full volume again!
My left hear is in and out on me all the time, great fucking news.
As a drummer, this is the greatest thing in the world if it works.
As someone with Tinnitus, YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
I have very slight Tinnitus in my left ear so hopefully this turns into a real fix.
