Does tinnitus affect the sound localization ability?

In ESLD patient referred for liver transplant, diminished QoL appears to be significantly negatively associated with frailty and not with severity of liver disease as measured MELD. With further study, if frailty is shown to be a remediable condition, targeted programs may help decrease frailty and improve quality of life in ESLD patients.
