I don't think hearing aid companies should be too concerned with OTO-413 as it addresses a condition not treatable by hearing aids: hidden hearing loss. Hearing aids only work when you've lost outer hair cells which are biological amplifiers. The hearing aids simply do the amplification. I...

Some examples include lifting something heavy, biting hard into a tough piece of food, and most significantly pushing a...
