They cannot transplant ears because the organ of hearing is located inside the skull inside the hardest bone in the body (the temporal bone). It is hard to get to. Also tinnitus is a very abstract thing so it is hard to study, hard to find a cure for, and hard to live with. It is not simply something that needs to be fixed. There are many forms of tinnitus as well. many people have tinnitus all their lives who have normal hearing. What causes that. Others it is likely caused by exposure to loud noise, and it often accompanies high frequency hearing loss. Some medications also cause tinnitus as a side effect. Stopping the medication may stop the tinnitus or you may be stuck with it.

I am sorry but i really find your sentences hard to understand.= ( but i hope i can help you the best way I can. There is a prevention for tetanus but if you are already infected with it it cant be cured. it usually affects the brain. that is why the best remedy is prevention. you have to get the tetanus vaccine if you can.
