brain auditory impairment secosta, can it be repaired by adults through scientific auditory intensive training? Professor Xiaoming Zhou, of the Department of Auditory Neurobiology at the School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, and Professor Mozenik of the University of California, USA, are all rightThe academic paper entitled "Hearing function of intensive training in adulthood can repair injuries in childhood" was published in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (2007, 104: 15935)The researchers used a specially designed auditory training program that enhanced the training of adult rats who had hearing cortex impairments at an early age to distinguish a specific frequency of sound in a random sequence of sounds that contained different frequenciesAfter more than two months of continuous training, the researchers were surprised to find that the hearing of these rats was no different from that of normally bred control rats, and that the damage to hearing function caused by early noise exposure was completely repairedThe researchers believe the study has potential lying to try to correct auditory impairments in older childrenchildren and adults after the "critical period" through intensive training measures such as cues of sensory learning(Resident reporter Hu Derong)
