Sorry, me again
Also, we hear of resolutions all the time, especially within the first 3-6 months, due to temporary t with ear infections etc. Also resolutions after tmj and neck injuries resolve.
This suggests hearing vulnerability, i.e. impaction of the nerve or areas around the auditory pathway from cochlea, but also anywhere all the way to central auditory system. But does not necessarily connect t with inner ear hair cell damage (hearing loss), that at this point is not reversible.
I think of all the puzzling things with t, this will continue to puzzle me the most.
