Would you take this pill?

If I offered you a pill that would cure you of your hearing loss/deafness, would you take it, and why/why not?

I started losing my hearing in my 40s; it’s mostly normal age-related hearing loss but that comes early in my family. I also had a virus or burst blood vessel that vastly reduced the hearing in my right ear when I was in my 50s.

So - late onset hearing loss. I grew up hearing normally, I know what I’m missing, and my brain is wired to process speech sounds. Hearing aids help a lot but they can’t fully restore hearing in my right ear which is too far gone.

You bet I’d take your magic pill!
