Hearing loss may change brain structure

Hearing loss may be causing changes in the long-term brain structure of
the estimated 50 million people in the United States who suffer from it,
a new study shows. Researchers used two different imaging modalities in studies of people
with hearing loss, normal hearing, and those with hearing loss and
tinnitus (ringing in the ears). People in the hearing loss group showed
structural changes in their brains.
