This is one I puzzle over too. I though it might be ast the other reply suggests, but upon checking, Maho dissolves the Ah within his ears by placing his own hands over them. Ginko's reasoning was that the Ah would naturally find being in a living host uncomfortable due to the body's inner sounds, and so attmepts to drown them out (no explanation as to how it does this). So as far as I can figure, it utilized some method (likely through the horns) to dampen the sounds of the host's body, and if it fails it either moves on or dies. Ginko again says this struggle lasts a year before it takes a toll and the host dies of depression/exhaustion. Based on the info we have to work with, yes, it seem like the problem should resolve itself as the hose attempts to block out the mushi sounds. My only theory is that once the horns have grown, the process to dissolve the Ah within a host this way takes longer to work? We see Ginko cured rather quickly within the cave by Maho's hands covering his ears, but the horns hadn't grown on this forehead yet, and when Maho covers his own ears we don't actually see how long the precess takes, so perhaps that is the deciding factor. The horns might make it take longer to work, and the host might stop trying before it does? Chalking it up to mushi are mysterious and little is known on how they work.
