This is great news. Hopefully this will be expanded to other forms deafness like those caused by ototoxic medication, ear infections, and general sensorineural hearing loss.
- im3w1l 1y agoThis particular study looks like it's dealing with a pretty narrow condition and solution (protein missing - add gene for protein). I don't think this particular research can be extended the way you hope.
- jonathanlb 1y agoI agree. The causes of deafness I mentioned are diverse and fall outside the specific focus of this current study. Ideally, future research will address deafness caused by these and other other factors.
- janeerie 1y agoYes, I would really like to see research targeting Connexin 26, since it's the most common cause of hearing loss, but it seems it's much more difficult to "cure."
