15、caffeine,and loud noises.The researchers found that theguinea pigs subjected to only sound had their full hearing recovered by day eight.However,the guinea pigs that were subjected to both caffeine and loud noise never fully regained theirhearing.Therefore,the researchers concluded that caffeine is
