TROUBLE WITH AMBIENT NOISE? COULD BE BRAIN CELLS FIRING

The result, they say, creates a “fuzzy” sound stage that makes it difficult for the brain to focus on one type of sound—such as spoken words—and filter out surrounding “noise.” Scientists have long linked inevitable age-related hearing loss to hair cells in the inner ear that become damaged or destroyed over time. But the researchers say their...
