Is that directed toward me, Sallylou?

As for how effective hearing loss treatment will be, well, researchers seem to be pretty optimistic that it will be effective. No one yet knows what kind of losses it will be limited to; I can say that researchers are taking different approaches. Some researchers are focusing on stem cell...

Those are good questions, but no one is clairvoyant. Guesses from scientists range from 5 - 30 years. Much of it depends on funding; researchers spend a great deal of their work time filling out grant applications to keep their research going. And the Bush years were abysmal in that regard...
