Scientists may have found the cure for deafness caused by too many rock shows, loud noises
Here’s some news that should be exciting to all readers hearing a gentle high-pitched ringing right now: Scientists in Britain think they may have found a cure for deafness caused by loud noises, infections, and toxic drugs. In tests, a treatment codenamed LY411575 has been shown to reverse deafness in mice. Neuroscience journal Neuron says that the drug may very well work on humans, but that more research is still needed. Still, its mere existence should be music to the ears of anyone who’s having trouble hearing that music, after years of headphone use or basement shows.
