    They have been doing this for years. But... this is not just limited to ones with Usher Syndrome, right? I mean, majority of deaf people had suddenly lost their hearing shortly after being born or later youth. Aren't they the most-likely candidates? Not only babies are the candidates?

    That is why I encourage them to only accept Cochlear Implants in ONE of their ears where their vestibulocochlear nerves is being cut because otherwise, they will have to skip this grand experiment sadly. I hope they will continue to do this. I feel bad for the mice but I am very grateful for these little creatures. And you should not take them for granted.

    The deaf world and the hearing world need to meet in the heart of the bridge they are both crossing and throw away all the fear of miscommunication and barriers. The deprivation of it all makes them lost their place in society, because hearing people either are ignorant or do not want to deal with them. They both, deaf and hearing man, need to meet in the middle, not one going all the way across and vice versa. I thank for all the scientists and researchers here.
