Hearing could be restored to deaf people using artificially grown ear cells. Scientists have created specialised ear cells in the lab for the first time.
A team from California’s Stanford University were led by Professor Stefan Heller. They have found a way of creating, in a petrie dish, the hair cells within the ear which detect vibrations and convert them into sound. This cure for deafness may be only ten years away. Fancy it?
