We're now at a point where researchers can take your own skin cells and convert them into regenerative cells to help re-grow damaged hair cells within your own inner ear and restore hearing loss. Clinical trials begin soon over the next 10 years. And believe me, this will come a lot sooner rather than later with the way medical researchers are advancing at a rapid rate to reach this unprecedented milestone. Not only would this be hugely beneficial to recipients of hearing loss for millions of children and adults researchers also recognize the extremely lucrative potential when it comes to regenerative medicine.

I'm getting a bit sceptical. Damn the clinical trials I offered to start 8 years ago and they refused. Even when I offered a waiver. The sooner they address these deaf issues the better for most. I'm hoping at least to hear my son's voice before the grim reaper shows up.... and there are thousands queuing up behind me...
next 10 years? that is long time not even closer. I will turn 60. you will turn 50ish .
Again, medical science moves fast once it gets going. U.S. tend to be slower on getting this out compared to other countries.
