University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how cells that let us hear can repair themselves after being damaged, an insight that could benefit efforts to treat and prevent hearing loss.
Best news I’ve heard all week.
Could you say that a little louder, sonny?
Metal heads rejoice
Anyone who went to concerts without hearing protection really. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Anyone who went to see The Pixies even with hearing protection.
I feel attacked.
Obvious a very low level study, but as someone with tinnitus any progress in their area is exciting!
My wife has tinnitus and it’s so strange to me that there’s so little research into this topic and absolutely no answers or relief for people that suffer from it.
It’s a complex disease with many mechanisms and causes but it doesn’t really kill people. So hard work and little urgency.
It doesn’t directly kill people, but a cause of suicide due to the extremely high impact of Tinnitus on mental health
True, but nobody says xy died of tinnitus which is the deciding factor
I agree.
I just wish things were different, and tinnitus taken more seriously as a life-threatening illness.
Fuckin POP! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 🙄
Ball buster for sure.
*prevent some types of hearing loss.
