Researchers report successful gene therapy trial for genetic deafness in children, allowing them to hear in both ears, with minor side effects like fever and higher white blood cell counts. The therapy showed dramatic results with children being responsive to family voices and some speaking their first words.
Associate professor Zheng-Yi Chen believes this gene therapy is a 'game-changer' and will likely become the standard therapy in the future, potentially offering a permanent fix to genetic deafness.
