Youth with congenital deafness treated with gene therapy showed better progress on certain hearing measures than counterparts treated with cochlear implantation in a cohort study from China. Gene ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Australian researchers are trying a novel way to boost the power of cochlear implants: They used the technology to beam gene therapy into the ears of deaf animals and found the ...

In a worldwide first, a one-and-done gene therapy has been approved to treat a form of hereditary deafness. Many of the ...

Cochlear implants have restored hearing to many deaf people, but they haven't advanced much since they were unveiled in the 1970s. That may be set to change with an exciting new advance, not in the ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new way to restore lost hearing: with a cochlear implant that helps the auditory nerve regenerate by delivering gene therapy. Growth factor: The cochlear nerve ...

Researchers have for the first time used electrical pulses delivered from a cochlear implant to deliver gene therapy, thereby successfully regrowing auditory nerves. Researchers have for the first ...

Many people lose their hearing when the sound-sensitive hair cells in their cochleas die off. When this happens, the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), which send signals from the hair cells to the brain ...
