I suffer from hearing loss from the result of too many concerts, playing in my band, working around loud machinery and a few bad ex-wifes LOL just kidding bout the ex's… This is good to know how do I qualify to become part of the clinical trials? Do I have to live somewhere specific? Would like to know more about it. Please post information.
