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.

I believe it can be mostly fixed by sound therapy and other therapies,

if you are selling therapies. There is no serious treatment for tinnitus.
