Answer 1

The statement "Once hearing is damaged, it cannot be repaired" is generally considered **false**. While certain types of hearing loss may not be fully reversible (such as damage to hair cells in the inner ear), there are treatments and technologies available that can improve hearing or address some types of hearing loss. For example, hearing aids and cochlear implants can help individuals with hearing impairment. Additionally, medical treatments or surgeries may repair specific issues leading to hearing loss.
