whether or not a person suffers hearing loss due to loud noise may depend on their genes , research suggests . noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses and members of the armed forces are particularly vulnerable . in 2013 , the us department of veterans affairs reported hearing loss as one of the most common ailments among veterans receiving disability compensation . noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses , doctors have warned . now , however , scientists at the university of southern california believe they have made a breakthrough in their understanding of the condition . they have identified a gene , named nox3 , found in the inner ear , that is crucial in determining how vulnerable a person is to developing hearing loss . their research , looking at the dna of mice exposed to noise , is the first published genome-wide association study on noise-induced hearing loss in mice . as a result of the findings , those at higher , genetic risk for hearing loss can decide whether to take precautionary measures to protect their hearing prior to hazardous noise exposure , the study authors say . ` understanding the biological processes that affect susceptibility to hearing loss due to loud noise exposure is an important factor in reducing the risk , ' said lead study author professor rick friedman . ` we have made great advances in hearing restoration , but nothing can compare to protecting the hearing you have and preventing hearing loss in the first place . ' scientists have identified a gene , named nox3 , found in the inner ear , that is crucial in determining how vulnerable a person is to developing hearing loss . while some gene association studies on noise-induced hearing loss in people have been conducted in the past , all were very small and their results unreplicated . hollywood actor keanu reeves made no secret of his passion for formula one when visited and sampled the atmosphere at the red bull headquarters in milton keynes . reeves , who has starred in blockbusters such as the matrix trilogy , has been pictured at grand prix in the past and is a self-confessed petrolhead . the 50-year-old grilled red bull 's chief technical officer adrian newey - who has been a part of ten world championship wins in the past - and checked out pit stops during his time at the factory with sky sports f1 . keanu reeves chats to red bull chief technical officer adrian newey at the headquarters in milton keynes . petrolhead reeves also checked out pitstops and more at the red bull factory with sky sports . and reeves , who is also a director , producer , musician , and author , also said that his love for the sport comes partly from its similarity to the film business . he said : the whole thing is the most impressive thing . it reminds me of telling stories or making a film . all of the different parts - costume , cinematographer , wardrobe , all of the fuel dynamics , the power plant , body design , construction . all of these kind of teams that go to people that go to an idea that goes to a passion going towards this one event is what 's impressive . you have to admire the pluck . porto montenegro , once the main base for the austro-hungarian navy , is now home to super-yachts , gin palaces , infinity pools , nightclubs , fleets of helicopters - and festering controversy . it 's has monte carlo in its sights ; st tropez and porto banus , too . ` there 's something great and human about it , everyone coming together for this thing . genome wide association studies search the entire dna for common mutations to see if any of those are linked with a trait . mouse genome wide association studies have lead to the discovery of hundreds of genes involved in complex traits that have immediate relevance to people . the study was published in the journal plos genetics . an earlier version of this piece existed but has now been amended . boats , boats everywhere you look : the harbour at porto montenegro is the place to park your super yacht . all it needs now is a little time and a few more millions . for the rest of us , watching its development will be fun . canadian gold mining billionaire peter munk , a refugee from nazi-occupied hungary , is the chief investor . a friend of munk 's from toronto says that when he visited porto montenegro seven years ago , the site resembled pearl harbor after the japanese attack . not any more . its first five-star hotel , the regent , has just opened and lord -lsb- jacob -rsb- rothschild , an investor , was there to witness it . ` it 's a miracle .
