A normal ear has 15,000 high quality hair cells.<br /><br />It may be till 2040 before we can give people normal hearing(25db or better) in the meantime, I will be happy to improve 20db in 2020. They can give me 1000 more hair cells to fill in the slot of the missing cells. Ill end up hearing equal or better than those with CIs with powerful HAs. Whats better is ill have some ability to hear unaided, something a CI can't give.deafdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653461540973603928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-77564994891535895972009-07-31T12:12:43.121-04:002009-07-31T12:12:43.121-04:00Human can then regenerate the correct number of ha...Human can then regenerate the correct number of hair cell for 100% restoration which will be better than the deaf chicken which only get their ear partially restored because too few new hair cell and lower quality hair cell are produced.wongtanlim3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-18380376953491959712009-07-31T11:43:09.065-04:002009-07-31T11:43:09.065-04:00hi

I know a bunch of friends who will get stem cells the first chance they get, others will get it a couple years after the first few dozen people get it.<br /><br />Yes there are risks, but there's risks with CI as well. Right now im still getting some benefits from HAs but my hearing is expected to get worse, I might not even hear above 500Hz or 750Hz 5 years from now. Im not currently in a hurry but am going to follow CI and stem cell technology closely.<br /><br />My plan is to try stem cells 5-10 years from now in one ear and if this fails to improve my hearing, CI technology will be mature and ill just get a CI and enjoy good odds of improved hearing in the implanted ear. I will then wait for stem cells to enter clinical trials and give it another go. Do you have the same plans for your 2nd ear?deafdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653461540973603928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-17248233088484285452009-07-11T10:38:37.443-04:002009-07-11T10:38:37.443-04:00The reason it would take that long for clinical tr...The reason it would take that long for clinical trials to begin is precisely because it's so experimental. Not much is known about it, and many of the questions asked were unable to be answered in the conference. And we also don't know the long term effects of stem cell treatment. That doesn't mean it doesn't work, though.Nabeelhttp://nabeel-ci.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-3643148695437325422009-07-11T00:25:37.066-04:002009-07-11T00:25:37.066-04:00I will post more sources when I find those.

Id like to see what the scientist/doctors have to say about this success story that was made possible in the present(2009) I won't say they are wrong, but am curious about the few cases where people got treated for deafness today.<br /><br />If its already proven to work on humans today, why would it take 30, 40, 50 years for clinical trials? All we have to do is improve the safety and learn a few more things before we can perform it on a large number of humans in trials. You could get it done today except I won't risk it as it's too expermental. Id only risk a life saving procedure such as for MS or cancer.deafdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653461540973603928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-13860478876035599592009-07-10T16:50:19.239-04:002009-07-10T16:50:19.239-04:00Hello I have been searching for human clinical tri...Hello I have been searching for human clinical trials for hearing loss and everything I have found says it is still decades away. I have emailed & contacted over 100 scientist/doctors about when to expect it and they say not anytime soon at all.
