title: Hearing damage and deafness: a role for the circadian clock.
abstract: Severe noise can cause permanent hearing damage. A recent study now shows that the capacity to recover from noise damage varies with time of day, driven by circadian clock control of a nerve growth factor (BDNF) in the inner ear.
