New evidence touch-sensing nerve cells may fuel 'ringing in the ears'
We all know that it can take a little while for our hearing to bounce back after listening to our iPods too loud or attending a raucous concert. But new research at the University of Michigan Health System suggests over-exposure to noise can actually cause more lasting changes to our auditory circuitry changes that may lead to tinnitus, commonly known as ringing in the ears....
