From AGBell Association site: “Who We Are The Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing helps families, health care providers and education professionals understand childhood hearing loss and the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.” http://nc.agbell.org/netcommunity/page.aspx?pid=1131

Due to a challenge by someone, I explored the relationship between the AGBell Association and the Deafness Research Foundation who partially funded the seventh Research Symposium held in AGBell Association Convention at Orlando in 2010. The Deafness Research Foundation, now called Hearing Health Foundation, is actively working on full eradication of deafness. Continuing the investigation, the topics discussed in that research symposium turned out to be biomedical, as you can see from the list below.

RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

“Re-Modeling the Deafened Cochlea for Auditory Sensation: Advances and Obstacles” Sunday, June 27, 8:00 am–11:30 am
AG Bell is pleased to present its seventh Research Symposium featuring world-renowned scientists in the field of hearing health and research. Presentation topics will focus on advancements and limitations of stem cell and cochlear sensory cell regeneration. Presenters include:
Andrew Groves, Ph.D., Department of Neuroscience and Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, will present “Mammalian Inhibition of Cochlear Sensory Cell Regeneration.”.
Jian Zou, Ph.D., Department of Developmental Neurobiology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., will present “Initiating Cell Proliferation in the Mammalian Cochlear Sensory Epithelium In Vivo.”.
Stephan Heller, Ph.D., Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, Calif., will present “What We Can do with Stem Cells and What We Cannot Do with Stem Cells.” http://nc.agbell.org/netcommunity/page.aspx?pid=849.
i have always thought agbell association an exclusively oral education advocacy organization. But the recent discovery left me in puzzlement. i don’t really have anything to say except to provide you the materials to make your own interpretations. MZ
