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.

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?
