Q: I am running 51. For the last 2 months, there is a loss of hearing in my left ear. On being examined, I was told that some of the nerves, responsible for hearing have dried out. Please let me know whether there is any advanced medicine for this disease.
A:I am sorry but there is no advanced medicine for nerve deafness. You need to protect your ears, and it is likely to get worse with age, and you might need a hearing aid at some point in your life.
