Just one month after the treatment, the majority of patients gained some hearing. Six months later, all 10 showed considerable hearing improvement, with the average volume of perceptible sound improving from 106 decibels (very loud) to 52 (much fainter). What’s more, the patients did not report any adverse side effects within the first 12 months post-treatment.

This is really cool news!

I really hope they someday also figure out ways to gene therapy tinnitus away. Lizard genes for my sound hairs to make them regrow would be sweet.
