Deafness reversed: One injection restores hearing in just weeks
www.sciencedaily.com
A new gene therapy is giving people born deaf the chance to hear, often within just weeks. In a small but groundbreaking study, researchers delivered a working copy of a key hearing gene directly into the inner ear using a single injection. All ten patients, ranging from young children to adults, experienced improved hearing, with some showing rapid gains in just one month.

    Well, I’m not sorry I was rash. When a large group of people represent a community, and actively hurt people, you can’t be surprised when those hurt people are contemptuous toward that community. Same reason, people hate insert religion.

    You’re just a whiny brat, trying to find your place in the world, focusing on identity for yourself, or others, so that you can feel like you belong and pious that you defended a minority group. Just focus on making human connections and be nice and stop this tribalism bullshit.

    Feel free to respond with all the work you do for the deaf. I’ll be on the phone lobbying for them.

    edit: changed apology, person is annoying.

    edit2: why did you harp on the ears broke thing btw? deaf people’s ears are broken lmao. just like blind people can’t see. the deaf community does the most harmful thing which is, make deaf people think that’s all they can be. ugh, you are such an ignorant, awful person.
