Researchers Have Discovered A Way To Replace Damaged Hair Cells In The Inner Ear    

One of the types of hearing loss involves the hair cells in the inner ear, which detect the vibrations and transmit them to the nerves. Once these hair cells are damaged, they cannot repair themselves or regenerate. For this reason, it is said that hearing loss is permanent. However, researchers have found a way to replace these damaged hair cells via a molecule that activates the regeneration process. Click here for more information.
