Larry Lustig and Yilai Shu presented successful gene therapy trials at a conference. Children with profound deafness gained normal hearing levels without the need for hearing aids or implants.
The trials involved treating just one ear initially for safety, progressing to bilateral treatment, resulting in restored hearing and speech perception improvement in children with genetic deafness.
Lustig expressed astonishment at the successful restoration of hearing in children with genetic deafness, highlighting the unexpected joy of providing full sound perception in these cases.
