Very scientific. It will be interesting to follow this research.
It has been a very short time in the history of medicine that hearing loss/deafness has even been included in grant funded medical research. Many mysteries remain unsolved.
Cochlear implants were considered experimental just a few decades ago and have improved significantly due to research and individuals who were willing to be test subjects in the 1970s and forward.
Do you think we will see a 'cure' for hearing loss in the future?

I tried to read the study, but found the language and concepts daunting. What I find encouraging is that serious research is now being conducted on hearing loss. It’s unclear to me why it has never been appealing as a subject of exploration before. Perhaps because it is a phenomenon largely associated with age (which in our increasingly noisy world now seems to be changing) and none of us really believe that we’re going to get old before we actually do?
I will be very curious to see where this research as well as wider studies lead. I don’t know that any of us will see a “cure” in our lifetimes, but I feel certain progress can be made in both preventing and greatly improving hearing loss, possibly in ways other than the volume enhancement offered by hearing aids, in the future.

Cure,no. But I expect major improvement in hearing aid devices.
