And one of these days they will figure out how to make those little cochlear guys regenerate themselves! My original audi described them as little hairs that decide to lay down on the job instead of standing upright - and the more that lay down the less you hear. I really wanted to 'zap' the slug-a-beds and get them back on their feet and working!

Amen!

Hi Julie, So interesting you talk about that. I have been exploring the HLAA website and came across a recent webinar. It was about a medication in trail from Frequency Therapeutics that tries to regenerate those little hairs! Still in the testing phases, but very interesting. This is the link.
