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.

There seems to be a big separation between "Big 'D'" and "little 'd'" in the deaf community. e.g. Deaf vs deaf. the latter choosing to use hearing aids and the former not. This gene therapy adds a whole new layer and it'll be interesting to see how it's utilised within the dead communities.
