FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, Oct. 8 (TNSres) -- Northern Arizona University issued the following news:
We all know repeated exposure to loud noises can damage or kill auditory cells, causing permanent hearing loss.
But what if that isn't as true as we thought? Research out of NAU's Cell and Molecular Pathology Lab shows there may be a way to prevent and treat noise-induced hearing loss, thanks to a special mechanism in mouse DNA. It could have ramifications for other organs as . . .
