The loss of auditory stimulus as a doctor once told me impacts our cognitive abilities. It was the reason she said that she recommends very strongly that patients like me get hearing aids. Apparently a lot of us decide to tough it out, develop adaptations to work with lost hearing and those around us adapt to our impairment.I have been one of those as well but a real cure for the condition would be worth trying if it came about in time.

Good to read that there may be hope for folks like me who have hearing loss from inner ear damage. I discovered I had this problem when I inherited an old watch from my father as a kid. It needed to be wound up every day before school so it could reliably tell time. It was not long before I found out that I could barely hear it ticking out of one ear. The condition has grown worse over time though the decline has been bearably gradual. In the next decade, it's likely I will be completely deaf in one ear.
