In this case I hope that for minor hearing loss with heavy synapses damages, additional growth factor therapy provided by hidden hearing loss researchers could be available, so that sound clarity and dynamics become optimum, as long as mixed therapies (Frequency + NT3 neurotrophin for instance)...

My fear is synapses couldn't be restored enough to be useful if hair cells are intact.

Who knows. Maybe 20 years or hopefully sooner. Actually it is more and more admitted that hearing loss can lead to dementia, and by this occasion launch alzheimer much earlier on persons with risk, so if this issue is more and more recognized, it may be shorter until a full cure

The race for a cure is already launched and the successful winner will earn ££££$$$$€€€€, near 2035 in the worst case or near 2025 in the best case.

Back in the beginning of the mainstream internet, there were many horror stories from hyperacusis and tinnitus sufferers polydrugged by antidepressants and benzodiazepines especially rivotril which switched their brain off for weeks

Memantine is well known to be inefficient and even deadly in the long term. But when you tell it to physicians they often grimace because they are still stuck in an old pill paradigm

Let's hope that optimization of safety along with transparency will prevent crooks from hiding some dangerous side effects in this race. There was a link on the forum about a case in clinical trials for some diseases in China. The true seal of safety and efficiency might be the first and genuine...

@RB2014 Could you also tell us please how is the sharpness and comfort of your hearing along with tinnitus depending on volume and dynamic fluctuations when you wear hearing aids ? I mean : are the surrounding sounds becoming metallic / distorded along with tinnitus raise when surrounding...
