Does Stem Cell Treatment Help In Treating Hearing Loss?
Hello Doctor, My son was fine and when he was 5 years old he got a virus and the fever rose to 105 and with the biaxin ab=ntibiotic he lost some of his hearing in his both ears and now he is 12 years old and I heard stem cell would be the best choice of treatment for him to cure his hearing loss? Can you please let me know? Thanks for your time

Hello,
There are currently no FDA-approved treatments for hearing loss that use stem cells, but researchers are conducting clinical trials to test whether stem cell-based therapies for hearing loss are safe and effective in humans.
So don't worry but please check regularly to know the progressive hearing loss or not . severity or loss etc. Please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
