I am so depressed because of my hearing loss, i'm 19 and i should be talking and making friends but because of my hearing loss i rarely have anyone to call my friend especially to talk to because of my hearing loss. Can't afford hearing aids for now too. I really hope a cure would come so that maybe one day my life would go back to normal

Don't hold your breathe. It's going to be decades if not never before hearing can be restored on a general scale. I've been waiting for half of my life and I'm 72. Get hearing aids at Costco, they sell them, fit them, service them for about $1,500.00. If you go to an audiologist, you're going to be hit with a $5k to $8k bill! for hearing aids that aren't any better than what Costco sells.

Some states have recently enacted laws that require hearing care for anyone under the age of 25 if they are in school. You may want to check into possibility to see if you qualify for hearing aid assistance.

Man that's suck! I see that we can get this cure in 10-20 years. In meantime, you can try your luck at learning sign language and find a community or through online game. But results may vary cause that kind of story is decade old, I do try couple but resulted in 0 plus most game with text based chat isn't my thing. And even I don't know if that kind of friendship can be replicable in this era. But out of all place, I got luck on youtube comment though. Mine also start to detoriate too can't think what the future like for me especially I could only hear through left side of ear which currently cause a lot of mishearing . Oh, I got a lot of free time and lots of book reading so if you wanted to share or talk I can!

Interesting research. My tinnitus is definitely a result of loud noise exposure because i can pinpoint the incident when my tinnitus began. I can’t remember when my hearing loss started. I have had a few vestibular and hearing issues for years now. I would definitely volunteer if a research opportunity existed in my location.

I could probably use some hearing aids, but after reading how loud they can be I am starting to wonder if that's a slippery slope as well. I mean, hearing damage starts around 90 dB, but some hearing aids can jack sound up to 125 dB. Do I want to be exposed to that level all day? Probably not!

I got ssnhl in my left ear. Woke up with it out of the blue. Did all the steroids and steroid shots in the ear. I also did hyperbaric oxygen treatments. I went from severe hearing loss to moderate and was close to normal. I used NAC for 6 months. 2 years later it happened in the same ear again(went to bed fine, woke up unable to hear) Did all the treatments, but I have sustained major hearing loss. I am using the NAC again and I honestly believe it does help with the light tinnitus I have. After 2 weeks of using it, I started to get weird sounds in my ear that are not static, but like a high pitched ring that sounds like someone tuning in a radio station. Hoping this will continue to stablize the loss and keep it from getting worse. It's really frustrating to wake up with no hearing and doctors really have no explanation.

Apple Watch (and I guess others) are able to measure constantly your sound exposure, very useful, and I guess pretty accurate since the software is designed for specfic hardware Also if you use AirPods Pro 2 with it, you can have an estimated level of noise reduction, pretty interesting I really hope we’ll find some treatement to cure this type of hearing loss, as I’m more and more in fear to not be able to understand people at all of enjoy music because of all noise exposure from all sorts. Majority of people look like they don’t even understand the issue and don’t do anything against. This need to be changed
