A small study published on Wednesday02874-X/fulltext) documents significantly restored hearing in five of six kids treated in China. On Tuesday, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia announced similar improvements in an 11-year-old boy treated there. And earlier this month, Chinese researchers published a study showing much the same in two other children. So far, the experimental therapies target only one rare condition.
