Genetics plays a significant role in hearing impairment, accounting for 30% to 50% of all hearing loss cases. It is also responsible for 60% of deafness occurring in infants. These genetic mutations can lead to progressive hearing loss over time, affecting individuals from early childhood.
At Rescue Hearing Inc. (RHI), we are dedicated to developing gene therapy solutions that target the root causes of genetic hearing loss, offering new hope for individuals born with hearing impairments.
As people grow older, age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) becomes increasingly common. This condition affects the ability to hear high-frequency sounds and makes conversations difficult to follow, especially in noisy environments.
By focusing on advancing hearing restoration therapies, RHI aims to develop innovative treatments that preserve and enhance hearing function for older adults.
Every day, we are surrounded by sounds—televisions, radios, household appliances, and traffic. While most are harmless, excessive noise exposure from workplaces, concerts, or personal audio devices can lead to permanent hearing damage over time.
Protecting hearing from long-term noise exposure is crucial, and future advancements in gene therapy may offer potential solutions for restoring noise-induced hearing loss.
At Rescue Hearing Inc. (RHI), we are committed to transforming the landscape of hearing care through cutting-edge gene therapy innovations. In pursuit of this mission, we are proud to announce our Worldwide Exclusive License Agreement with Myrtelle, a leader in gene therapy advancements.
This groundbreaking partnership, initiated in Q3 2022, will accelerate the development of next-generation therapies designed to target and treat hearing loss at its root cause. By combining Myrtelle’s expertise in gene therapy with RHI’s mission-driven research, we are shaping a future where hearing loss is no longer a lifelong condition.
Hearing loss affects millions, but together, we can change the future. At Rescue Hearing Inc., we are pioneering cutting-edge gene therapy solutions to restore hearing and improve lives.
