and not holding my breath on either one but wish the best for patients and medical research teams. If a first you don’t succeed try, try again.

Seems both FDA approved hearing related studies/trials/implants should have answers up or down by end of next year.
Like nuclear fusion. These things always seem to remain 10 years away. My friend who works for one of these medical treatment firms seems VERY confident, while remaining totally unable to express why.

Aye WH, I believe they have cracked the initial Nuclear Fusion enigma, according to reports from the States last week, albeit on a scaled down experiment… Cheers Kev 
It will more than likely come to useful terms many years from now.
Aye Chuck, we’ll probably not see the benefits… Cheers Kev
Yep, the lab in Livermore has successfully sparked a fusion reaction that released more energy than went into it. The fusing atomic nuclei released 3.15 megajoules of energy—about 50 percent more than had been used to heat the pellet.
But look at the details, they are only counting the 1.8 (or 2.1 ?) million joules (MJ) of energy from the Lasers. They didn’t count the energy used to power the Lasers. If you count the total amount of input energy, then the energy produced is only something like 2 percent. Nevertheless, it’s still an important milestone.
If a whole excess MJ was created (it doesn’t sound like it) then that is equivalent to having a bit less than 3 x 100 Watt incandescent bulbs running for an hour. (277.777…W-H). Not exactly something we will be using to power anything with in the near future.
Depending on the fuel, I think there will also be gamma rays and/or neutrons released. The neutrons will heat your water to provide the power output. If there are gammas released I would think that will be troublesome. That needs feet of concrete or fairly thick lead or uranium shielding. Which will make construction so much fun.
