"Scientists hope it may be possible to treat age-related hearing loss by stimulating the
growth of new hair cells in the inner ear."
Thanks but no thanks.
The one thing I can't cope with about getting older is the ear hair growth - and now
they want to me grow more?
Baldness, weight gain, glasses, generla
slowing-donw, memory loss - I can cope with all that. I'll just have to go deaf. If it's
good enough for Beethoven...

The extremely sensitive tiny hair cells in your cochlea which fire off nerve triggers to
the brain about an incoming sound and get wrecked by loud noises are completely different
to the bushes you get emerging from the pinna! They are located in the inner ear, way down
past the auditory canal and the middle ear. Who'd of thought you could hear
better by growing more hair out of your ear! In that case your hearing would improve as
you got older!

Perhaps if I listen to lots of really loud (but really good) music, it will re-stimulate
my cochlear hair cells to re-grow so that they can hear it better...?

I highly doubt it. But if you and your kids
and the kids' kids do that maybe in the years to come Feline1 descendants definately will
(Darwin and all that)
