This looks interesting. I'm curious to see if this leads to curing deafness and other forms of hearing loss for many people. "scientists have restored hearing in an adult mouse model of DFNB9 deafness—a hearing disorder that represents one of the most frequent cases of congenital genetic deafness. Individuals with DFNB9 deafness are profoundly deaf, as they are deficient in the gene coding for otoferlin, a protein essential for transmitting sound information at the auditory sensory cell synapses. By carrying out an intracochlear injection of this gene in an adult DFNB9 mouse model, the scientists successfully restored auditory synapse function and hearing thresholds to a near-normal level." https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-02-gene-therapy-durably-reverses-congenital.html
