Deafness reversed: One injection restores hearing in just weeks
www.sciencedaily.com
A new gene therapy is giving people born deaf the chance to hear, often within just weeks. In a small but groundbreaking study, researchers delivered a working copy of a key hearing gene directly into the inner ear using a single injection. All ten patients, ranging from young children to adults, experienced improved hearing, with some showing rapid gains in just one month.

    I believe it can be mostly fixed by sound therapy and other therapies,

    if you are selling therapies. There is no serious treatment for tinnitus.

      As I’ve said, I’m not sure, but I have heard that some types of therapies can make it less noticeable, not entirely remove it.
