Great news! My nephew has been deaf since birth. Hoping this monumental breakthrough will help him to be a part of the hearing world as well! And, such an important medical development that will usher in a whole new meaning of the word “cure”.
Very cool
am I missing something? Wondering how the procedure was done. Infusion? Surgery?
DB-OTO is a gene therapy that has been created to deliver a working version of the OTOF gene to the inner ear. The DB-OTO injection is given into the inside of the ear during a surgical procedure that takes place under general anesthesia. This surgery is similar to cochlear implant surgery, which is well-established and has been used since the 1960s to treat deafness in babies.
