Researchers from Stanford University say they are on the cusp of a cure
for hearing loss. They are in Phoenix to give presentations on their
work and stopped by the 3TV’s studio Thursday to talk about their
progress.
Dr. Robert Jackler,
otolaryngologist and professor at Stanford University, is the department
chairman of the university’s Initiative to Cure Hearing Loss. The
Stanford team is exploring several different avenues for curing hearing
loss, including stem cell therapy, molecular therapy, and neural
stimulation.
