I think that for certain aspects of it we eventually will be able to. Either that or smart hearing aides will get so good that they will have nice software for decreasing the experience of tinnitus without overpowering your ability to hear other things normally. Technology can and definitely should do that.
ENTs can selectively deafen you to try to mask the tinnitus....
Awesome, now do the baldness
Well shit, they weren’t going to until your comment but now baldness will probably be cured within the month.
Frickin schweet!!!
And the foreskin.
Behold, the wonders of modern medicine... https://www.foregen.org/
This may still turn out to be a grift, as with other synthetic body part startups, but at least they did some animal studies first. The human trials are apparently awaiting the approval.
Considering that trans-surgeons make it look easy, you could totally do some mechanical foreskin restoration then finish up with an extra dump of skin from your scrotum/inguinal area.
If it doesn't recreate the nerve endings it is useless to me.
Speaking from experience, you do lose out on the important foreskin-related nerve endings, but the improvement in sensation is incredible. Plus, we’re getting close to replacing nerve endings, so you could get that procedure in the future.
Hey, brothers of the fore shall rejoice in their wholeness! If they can grow a penis on a mouse, they can do anything!!!
Enlighten me on this topic as I'm ignorant.
Do women generally find bald men less attractive? Or do men just find other bald men less attractive?
Basically what's wrong with being bald?
Do women generally find bald men less attractive? Or do men just find other bald men less attractive?
If I gesture vaguely to society in general, is that enough of a hint?
Sunburn?
Maybe a distinction between balding men and bald men should be made here.
Maybe we should be fair and consider women too. Are balding women attractive? I think women who shave their head are often attractive. But that’s not always equal to bald.
“Curing baldness” was a poor choice of words, since hair loss is usually progressive. It’s not like people are often born bald and wish for a cure.
If we are just trying to say inner beauty is what matters, then… that’s true. But we are all still human.
I could see how balding would be devastating.
is this from genetic deafness, or acquired through injury, medication or disease, like shingles, because some of these damage the nerves it self.
