There's no silver-bullet cure for hearing damage, but there are cures and effective treatment for the underlying causes, which can result in a cure for hearing damage.
The treatment and prognosis is highly dependent on the underlying cause. Cilia damage probably won't be curable until after a lot more stem cell research. Neurological damage is hard to impossible to cure depending on the age and neuroplasticity of the patient. TMJ or Eustachian tube dysfunction can lead to hearing damage that goes away once the underlying issue is treated.
This misinformation has killed people. Texas Roadhouse CEO Kent Taylor committed suicide after being diagnosed with tinnitus and being told it was untreatable, even though his tinnitus was caused by a COVID-19 infection causing inflammation. The treatment for that, which is highly effective, is two weeks of prednisone, with intratympanic steroid injections in severe cases.
