i've come to the royal free in north london to meet dr gautam mehta.s of a recent study looking at the connections between binge drinking and liver disease. when you think about binge drinking, people have a vision of people sprawling out of bars and clubs and, you know, falling around by bus stops. that's not what we mean biologically. what is a binge? so we can define a binge. it's defined by the world health organization and it's also in uk guidance. so, for a woman, it's six units of alcohol at one sitting. and, fora man, it's eight units. i'm trying to make sense of... trying to make sense of that. six units could be two large glasses of wine. so, if you have 2.5 regular—sized glasses of wine or two large glasses of wine, and you're a female, you're at your limit for being below a binge level. do people have a hard time believing that that is real and that will cause you harm if you exceed that? yeah. i think they do. what we recently showed was that binge drinking on its own, even with a weekly consumption of less than 1a units, will increase you

meet nish mehta from university college london hospital.les. our study found that if you received steroids in any form within the first seven days of having had your hearing loss suddenly, you were five times more likely to recover all of your hearing compared to those patients who did not receive steroids within that timeframe. and then we found that 40% of our population had not actually received the treatment at all, or within the timeframe we wanted. so what causes sudden onset hearing loss? there are four potential theories, one of which is that there is an infection that has travelled from the nose and throat to the inner ear and caused inflammation. more likely is that each patient probably has a different mechanism that has caused their individual type of hearing loss. not all those who receive steroids will recover their hearing but nish hopes that raising awareness will mean more people are seen before it's too late, at least giving the drug is a chance to work. i definitely wish that i had known at the time the urgency of the sit
