Are there Drugs that could Cure Hearing Loss?
With a new drug discovered for hearing loss, many people with developing hearing impairment are just hopeful. However, the compound ADAC is not a miracle substance that will cure hearing loss, but it’s more of a preventive drug that should be administered to those who were recently exposed to loud noise to prevent death of hair cells.
Currently, there are no drugs proven to cure loss of hearing that is a product of death of delicate nerve endings in the inner ears. This type of hearing loss occurs due to irreparable destruction of nerve endings, in which no hair cell regenerating medication or substance has been discovered.
Scientists are still looking for substances that may improve hearing after damage has been sustained, but up to this day this substance is still unknown. Nonetheless, the discovery of ADAC somehow brings us closer to hope for hearing loss medication. According to experts, many people can benefit from this drug. Military men exposed to blasts and gunshot sounds can take advantage of this drug to curb the possibility of acoustic trauma.
While researchers are looking for possible drugs for hearing impairment, people developing hearing impairment should try available options, such as hearing aids.
Since many people with hearing loss also suffer from ringing in the ears or tinnitus, they may explore various tinnitus treatment options.
