First pair of hearing aids
 
My daughter Amy was 3 years old when we found out she was severely hearing impaired. She was in preschool when they tested all of the kids and thought they made a mistake when they tested her because it was so bad. The reason we did not catch it sooner? They tested her lip reading ability and it was excellent. We found out later it was a hereditary condition.

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.
