Trump meets kid who can hear now, despite being born totally deaf, thanks to special drug

In a moving White House ceremony, President Trump met with a young child whose life was transformed by a revolutionary new gene therapy that restores hearing to those born with genetic deafness. The President hailed the medical breakthrough—recently approved by the FDA—as a testament to American innovation and the success of the administration's "Right to Try" and "Make America Healthy Again" initiatives. The drug, Otarmeni (developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals), targets a rare mutation in the OTOF gene that previously resulted in total, permanent deafness from birth. During the meeting, the President observed firsthand the child’s ability to respond to sound, calling it a "miracle of science." The administration emphasized that this therapy represents the first time in history that a form of congenital deafness has been successfully reversed. Trump used the occasion to vow continued federal support for cutting-edge genomic research, asserting that "no American child should be trapped in silence when we have the technology to set them free." #Trump #MedicalMiracle #GeneTherapy #DeafnessReversed #BreakingNews #Artemis #FDA #RightToTry #Regeneron #WhiteHouse
