A new gene therapy is giving people born deaf the chance to hear, often within just weeks. In a small but groundbreaking study, researchers delivered a working copy of a key hearing gene directly into the inner ear using a single injection. All ten patients, ranging from young children to adults, experienced improved hearing, with some showing rapid gains in just one month.

Interesting. I've never heard my female friends say anything negative about a bald guy's head.

I feel like it's one of those things where the person may lose confidence and then become less attractive due to the confidence. But nothing about being bald.
