Other news from the world:

🇬🇧 In Great Britain, for the first time in the world, a person's hearing was restored with the help of gene therapy.

18-year-old Opal Sandy has been deaf since birth due to auditory neuropathy. She was injected with a working copy of the OTOF gene into her ear. The operation lasted only 16 minutes - now the girl hears almost perfectly.

Doctors believe that the trial is just the beginning of gene therapy and marks a new era in the treatment of deafness.
