Babies rocked to triple meter music exhibited stronger auditory and prefrontal cortex activity than a non music control group, suggesting broader cognitive gains from early musical exposure.

Rheumatoid arthritis linked to high risk of hearing loss
AR patients show elevated sensorineural hearing loss with prevalence estimates from 25 to 72 percent. Elderly, long disease duration, active seropositive cases, and nodules raise risk while smoking alcohol and noise exposure worsen outcomes. Regular audiometry TEOAEs, steroids DMARDs antioxidants and lifestyle changes recommended.
