childhood deafnessGuardian
•88% Informative
Children were unable to hear because of inherited genetic mutations that disrupt the body’s ability to make a protein needed to ensure auditory signals pass seamlessly from the ear to the brain.
Doctors at Fudan University in Shanghai treated the children, aged between one and 11, in both ears in the hope they would regain sufficient 3D hearing to take part in conversations and work out which direction sounds were coming from.
Within weeks of receiving the therapy, the children had regained hearing, could locate the sources of sounds, and recognised speech in noisy environments.
