My family suffers from a mitochondrial disease in which effects these very hairs in our cochlea (which makes us great candidates for cochlear implants) but would this be "simple" for research such as regenerating hair cells?

One of the reasons we make such good cochlear implant candidates is we instantly hear. It's like the neurons/links were just waiting.

If this is of interest to you, or you could perhaps point me in the direction of someone in this space, you can find my via my profile :)
