Imagine having someone's full attention, or sometimes they are at the store which is even worse

Didn't think my drawing would gain this much attention

South African ENT specialist Professor Mashudu Tshifularo made history by performing the first-ever middle ear transplant using 3D-printed ossicles—tiny bones crucial for hearing. The surgery, conducted at Steve Biko Academic Hospital, used titanium implants printed to replicate the malleus, incus, and stapes bones. Unlike cochlear implants, this technique repairs conductive hearing loss, caused by trauma or infection damaging the middle ear. It’s faster, less invasive, and potentially permanent. A Leap for Hearing Science This innovation could be life-changing for millions, especially in developing regions. Tshifularo stated that “anything is possible through technology,” and this surgery proves it. #3DPrinting #DeafnessCure #SouthAfricaInnovation #MedicalBreakthrough #ENTsurgery #HearingRestoration
