Most of the time, hearing loss can be

contributed to hair cells that are damaged

and don’t grow back.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

Researchers are working to help identify

some of the genes that are imperative to

hearing and development.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

They are exploring the potential benefits

of gene therapy as a way to help re-grow

the lost hair in mammals.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

Researchers are also working on a

possible way to prevent hearing loss

resulting from exposure to extreme

volumes of noise.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

Researchers originally thought that

antioxidants could help to prevent hearing

loss if given before exposure to loud

noise.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

However, there was a substantial

reduction in hearing loss when the

antioxidants were given as far as three days

after the exposure.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

This shows that there is an open window

of time to help rescue an individual from

some of the damaging effects of extreme

noise exposure.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

Researchers are testing a variety of

nutrients, vitamins and minerals to

prevent hearing loss for college students

and military members.







San Diego (619) 569-1937

Eventually, they hope to have more

definitive answers on hearing loss from

extensive exposure to noise.
