New Scientist reports on a milestone in the search for a way to treat and perhaps cure deafness and hardness of hearing.
Since one of the major causes of hearing loss is exposure to loud sounds and since the amplitude of the noise to which we are exposed in modern life, particularly the noise to which young people who play their music at such high volumes are exposed, I suspect that a treatment for deafness will be in great demand in a decade or two.
