All ten patients, ranging from young children to adults, experienced improved hearing, with some showing rapid gains in just one month.

    Interesting. I’ve never heard my female friends say anything negative about a bald guy’s head.

    I feel like it’s one of those things where the person may lose confidence and then become less attractive due to the confidence. But nothing about being bald.
