Even hearing aids should be much cheaper and better.

I read in 2008 that a Stanford Professor Stefan Heller aimed to convert stem cells to hair cells in inner ear by 2020 and restore natural hearing. It sounded quite futuristic and unbelievable at the time, I presume the approach did not work. I wish as much innovation happens on the biology side of things as the technology.
