Cochlear implants, perhaps. If you made as much money as Rush Limbaugh you might be able to afford them, too. Other than that I'm afraid you're out of luck.

I have some severe hearing loss from playing in a band... there's no way to repair it dude. Just protect the hearing that you have left.

How do you protect them? Don't expose your ears to prolonged loud noises. If you go to a rock concert, bring some ear plugs (by the way, you can get special ones from a doctor that filter out only the harmful frequencies but they are expensive). Don't listen to loud music with headphones on, don't blast your stereo in your car... pretty much just use common sense.

Just make sure what you're listening to isn't audible across the room. Again, just use common sense.

There is no way at this current point to really restore hearing. And cochlear implant is for "last-resort" purposes. They will only use that if you are absolutely deaf in both ears (or closed to it). What is your audiogram like? Moderate loss means you have around 40 dB loss. You probably have high frequency loss if it's due to noise trauma. You do not need a hearing aid if one ear is normal even though the other suffer some hearing loss.

Safeguard your hearing If your occupation is under loud noise, wear protection. Avoid going to loud places, parties, fireworks, concert, and even movies. Not to be bleak, but your hearing won't get any better. It can't repair itself. Good luck.

I have some major hearing loss and I need to wear an hearing aid at age 26. If I have to choose between girls and having good hearing, I would choose to get my hearing back. The world is a lonely place when you can't hear.
