Hi All Did anyone read about the breakthrough made in regenerating the small hair like cells that cause hearing loss and possible tinnitus I think it was in the USA can't remember without searching for the article again, Apparently they have found a way of making these cells regrow and restore hearing loss this happens in animals but not humans, Trails have been very positive and a company has been formed to develop and supply the drug which they say will be available 2020 their is a chance if it restores hearing loss it may also BANISH "T".

keep on punching, all the best.
