A new gene therapy is giving people born deaf the chance to hear, often within just weeks. In a small but groundbreaking study, researchers delivered a working copy of a key hearing gene directly into the inner ear using a single injection. All ten patients, ranging from young children to adults, experienced improved hearing, with some showing rapid gains in just one month.

Yeah okay, like you didn't assume I'm deaf and say my ears are broken. Acting like all people are the same as those who harassed you. Maybe take out your anger on the actual people involved in your life instead of dishing it out to an entire group and hiding behind this story. Your last paragraph is pure projection.

Well, I'm sorry I was rash. I assumed you were deaf, albeit for contemptuous reasons. That was a look, I'm not fond of in myself. I'm sorry my words hurt you, but I feel there is truth to them. When a large group of people represent a community, and actively hurt people, you can't be surprised when those hurt people are contemptuous toward that community. Same reason, people hate insert religion.

edit: told my sister about this and she said I shouldn't have apologised lmao deaf people am I right?
