Hearing Loss attributed from EVAS
 
I was identified with a bilateral sensorineural hearing loss at the age of 2.5 years old with unknown etiology (parents & doctor suspected it may be from exposure of prenatal German measles or otoxin drugs). I grew up wearing hearing aids--very involved in academics and sports. I never used my hearing loss as a crutch but to only educate others about it and how to communicate with a deaf or hard of hearing person.

FROM THE LAB
 
Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary
 
 
  
Yasheng Yuan, Ph.D., Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, aims to develop a cell-based therapy to replace auditory neurons. We have shown that neural progenitor cells derived from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells transplanted into the auditory nerve send out fibers that grow to hair cells and to the cochlear nucleus.
