Deafness: “Sound off”
Maybe it’s a classmate, a co-worker, a friend, or even a family member – you’ve probably met someone hard of hearing or deaf. Hearing is one of our 5 major senses and being without it would completely shift your world. But did you know that certain antibiotics could cause deafness?
With our infographic, we want to show you exactly what it means to be hearing, why antibiotics play a role in deafness, and a novel study that demonstrates a new pathway for scientists to explore to stop antibiotic-caused ototoxicity.
