The booming U.S. economy, in which imports tripled from $23 million in 1790 to $78 million in 1807, brought in far more tariffs to pay off the debt. Still, the deficit-cutting plan hit a setback when Jefferson decided in 1803 to add $15 million of debt to the mound he inherited.
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds is the most common cause of tinnitus. Up to 90% of people with tinnitus have some level of noise-induced hearing loss. The noise causes permanent damage to the sound-sensitive cells of the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear.
19 January 2011âScientists say they can cure tinnitusâpersistent ringing in the earsâby pairing certain tones with stimulation of a nerve in the neck. Tinnitus is caused by noise damage to the sensory cells in the inner ear, or cochlea. This damage results in changes to the organization of the brainâs auditory cortex, a region that contains a frequency map of sounds. Damage to the inner ear causes a portion of this map to take over other parts of the cortex, causing the ringing.
