There may be cures in future (ways to regenerate all the areas that are involved in hearing - Auditory nerve, synapse and OHC, IHC) but there currently is no way to regenerate HC after apoptosis in Humans. Recovery of damaged/stressed HC, auditory is shown to happen naturally to a degree and -might- be helped through supplements.

I take NAC myself and a few other supplements, the idea is to help support and lessen the effects of oxidative stress. I wouldn't promote any of my protocol since the literature is too weak and from various hearing related forums I read, efficacy highly subjective.

If you're wondering - 7,8 Dihydroxyflavone (DHF) shows promise and there's some literature on frontiersin on this but delivery was done intratympanic injection to the RWM and on animals. Taking the it as a oral supplement may raise risks of some cancers.

Thanks! Yes, it’s important to distinguish between cure-some-types-somewhat-sometimes and cure-almost-any-type-consistently.

I’ve been very surprised in recent years to learn just how much actionable information is in the scientific literature. More is known than is known, sort of.

Sounds like you've looked into this. Understand you wouldn't promote your protocol but I'd like to learn about it. How can I reach you?
