He would've needed to damage the vestibulocochlear nerve to do that, and if he did, not only would he lose his hearing, he would also loose his balance, and Kubo would've only screwed more. Hearing is so much more complex than Kubo pretends to know. Involves the tubes of the ear, the way sound is transmitted into electricity so that the brain can decipher it. I'd go into more detail, but then I'd be writing a wall of text. It involves a WHOLE lot. Kubo bull****ed this entire chapter, which makes it almost laughable that Rose lost.
