Introduction

What is hearing loss, what causes it,
and can it be fixed?
 
Imagine, if you will, that you are the incomparable investigator Sherlock Holmes
and you are very tiny.  You and your partner, the brilliant Dr. Watson (very tiny as well), investigate perception and sensory problems in the human body. 
You make diagnoses by investigating the problem and taking a trip through the affected area in the human body via submarine (which is,
you guessed it, very tiny!).
 
Clients come to you with their various complaints which you research, you then come up with two or three possible diagnoses, take a trip through the appropriate system within the body, and emerge
with the final diagnosis.
 
Today, a new client came to you with a problem you have not had to investigate before...he is losing the hearing in his right ear. He is very worried and asks that you investigate and advise him on any
available treatment options.
