Potential Treatment For Deafness

Some interesting research for hearing loss.

 

Something I was thinking about for adults who were born deaf. What would it be like for them to hear for the first time?

It seems like they would have to go through a process of learning how to communicate through hearing speech and responding to it. These deaf people have never learned to communicate through speech. I think many would still rely on sign language for a period of time even after having their hearing restored. They would also have to learn to recognize various sounds that they have never clearly heard before. Seems like getting their hearing restored would come with many new adjustments.
