Chemical Earmuffs: The Future of Hearing Protection? | SciShow News

The video discusses two scientific advancements. First, a study on preventing hearing loss in mice using a drug that blocks harmful glutamate effects at synapses. This could potentially lead to human applications for noise-induced hearing loss prevention. Second, an underwater robot explores Thwaites Glacier's grounding zone, providing insights into glacial changes and their impact on sea levels. These studies highlight innovative approaches to addressing hearing loss and climate change.

What is the significance of Thwaites Glacier in relation to global sea level rise?

What challenges do scientists face when studying the grounding zone of glaciers?

Describe the purpose of the Ice Fin robot and its contributions to glacial research.
