Interesting Connexin Study

Here is an interesting study about Connexin-26 related hearing loss from the CI Circle News blog.  Basically there is a 50:50 chance that hearing could deteriorate.  So, David's hearing in his left ear (currently severe - borderline profound at 90 db HL) could worsen into a range where his hearing aid would do little good.  For now, I'll just add this to the "Pro's" column on my list of reasons to get a second CI for David.
