Deafness: Emerging Strategies for a Cure (Stefan Heller, Stanford University)
Stefan Heller is trying to create inexpensive ear drops that can cure deafness. In this short talk, Heller describes how his team of researchers at Stanford University is transplanting stem cells into the ear to “regenerate” damaged hearing cells.

I am only 21, I am 40% deaf but i am determined not to wear a hearing aid. I need help soon. So I fully support your research. Going deaf at a young age is the most depressing thing you could ever imagine.
I have bilateral …
I have bilateral high frequency hearing loss and now wear hearing aids as a result of noise exposure and having sensitive ears. I am only 26 years old. Hearing loss can be very debilitating and has been hard for me to accept at times due to my age. I am confident though that there will be a breakthrough leading to a stem cell or genetic treatment within say 10-20 years. I full heartedly support the efforts of Dr. Heller and his colleagues.

So what, am I …
So what, am I supposed to write notes to family and pass them back on forth? I mean, I do that now. Why should I have to though? There is no logical point to not to try and find a cure, if you can figure one out feel free to post.
The only way you …
The only way you can communicate is ASL? You seem to have adequate writing skills. How dare you tell me I am not part of the Deaf community? I am a CODA, and the sense of community is in no way superficial. I would know because I grew up in it. Being deaf doesn’t make you a part of the Deaf community. Please note the difference between Deaf/deaf. This is my last post on this matter. You only replied to my post because you wanted to argue. That is pointless and childish.
I would consider my …
I would consider my ailment debilitating yes. When there are certain people that I can not communicate with because they do not know ASL, yes that is pretty debilitating.
Purposely avoiding finding a cure because of some superficial sense of community that deaf people have (which you are not a part of because you’re not deaf, no matter how many deaf people you hang out with) is completely ridiculous. This isn’t going to be a forced procedure.
The very definition …
The very definition of debilitating is to make weak or feeble. Are you weak and feeble? I have a very good idea of what I am talking about. Simply because I have an opinion different from yours doesn’t mean I am ignorant. I am heavily involved in the Deaf community, I have spent weeks and months and years in the company of Deaf people. None of them are debilitated in any way, and would be angry with anyone who tried to tell them they are so. Do you have any idea of what you are talking about?
Deafness is …
Deafness is completely debilitating, are you deaf? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? I am. I would donate my life savings to help find a cure. People like you represent ignorant people who hinder progress.
Cancer and deafness …
Cancer and deafness are two completely different things. Cancer is a deadly, debillitating disease. Deafness is not. Comparing them is ridiculous.
You’re nuts. Really …
You’re nuts. Really. Let’s not think of a cure for cancer either, I mean they all have their own community.

You’re my hero, keep on researching.

This was a really encourgaging presentation. Seeing how close science is to developing stem cell treatments for deafness gives me hope that my own hearing problems may be cured someday. About 5 years ago I began suffering from Meniere’s disease. To date I have lost about 60% of the hearing in my left hear and have a persistent loud ringing 24/7. Although my condition is nothing compared to individuals suffering from illnesses like AIDS and cancer, it is hard to live with.

well!
We expect good news on the progress stem cells to cure deafness. It would be great news for the whole world, I assure you. Would be very happy.
Apparently you …
Apparently you don’t know what has been going on at DVTV.

my deaf niece has had a implant for years (since she was 3) and she absolutely refuses to use it. Why? because she is happier being deaf and can live completely independently without hearing. without merit? I’d like you to show me proof of that statement please – invalidating people’s sense of identity without factual proof is what most people call prejudice.

If we fix their ears whenever or before they’re born, they wont need a visual language after all and thats what’s going to happen soon.
