RE: Re: Researchers find cure for deafness

[Guest guest]

I think it is reasonable to expect this to happen in 10 to 15 years which to

me gives great hope to my children and my grandchldren. As long as the

auditory nerve is not involved or there is no structural damage, this means

that the deaf should be able to hear. there will always be people who are

deaf because all deafness is not sensural neural but this brings great hope

for the future for a great many people.

I did know of the similar studies at U of M and I believe U of Iowa has them

also.
