Neuralink Could Restore Hearing, Says Elon Musk | ISH News

Around the world, technology is slowly becoming a part of our bodies. What was once shown only in science fiction movies is now becoming real.
For example, in Sweden, thousands of people already have small chips inside their hands. These chips help them open doors, unlock cars, and enter offices—without using keys or cards. These tiny chips make daily life easier and smoother.
Now imagine—what if a chip could not only make life easy but also help people with disabilities?
This is what Neuralink, a company started by Elon Musk in 2016, is trying to do.
Neuralink’s dream is to connect the human brain directly with a computer using a very small chip. Their main aim is to help people who have serious spinal injuries and cannot move.
In early trials, Neuralink showed positive results. Some people with paralysis could move a computer cursor or play a chess game—just by thinking. This has given hope to many people who cannot move.
But recently, Elon Musk made a new and bold statement that caught the world’s attention.
In a post on social media platform X (earlier called Twitter), Musk said that Neuralink’s brain chip could help deaf people hear—even those who were born deaf.
He explained that this chip would directly send signals to the part of the brain that understands sound. So, even if a person’s ears do not work, they might still be able to hear.
This is different from cochlear implants, which help some deaf people by sending signals to the hearing nerve. Neuralink’s chip would go even deeper—straight to the brain’s hearing area.
If successful, this chip could help those who cannot use cochlear implants and give them a new way to experience sound. Elon Musk even said that in the future, such chips might give humans “super-hearing”—allowing them to hear sounds that normal ears cannot hear.
However, this is still just an idea. The chip is still being tested. Many technical, safety, and ethical questions are yet to be answered.
Also, many Deaf people and experts have said that deafness is not a problem to be “fixed.” For many, deafness is an identity, a language, and a culture. They want to be respected for who they are—not forced to change.
At ISH News, we agree with this view. We do not believe that deafness must be “cured.” We also do not support the idea of putting chips inside the body through surgery.
But as a news platform made for the Deaf community, we believe it is important to share such news. We want to keep our viewers informed so they can think and talk about these big topics.
We are here to provide both sides of the story—the big promises of this new technology, and the serious questions it raises. This way, our community can decide what they think for themselves.
The world is now watching to see what Neuralink does next—and whether this brain chip can really change the way people live.

DMT Study Set To Explore Breakthrough Potential in Stroke Recovery

The study, which is set to begin in the third quarter of 2025, will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 40 stroke patients in Europe.

Dr. Nardai, a leading cerebrovascular disease specialist, is currently the Head of the Department of Neurointervention at Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary. He previously led a preclinical study published in Experimental Neurology in May 2020, which demonstrated that rats treated with sub-hallucinogenic doses of DMT showed near-complete motor function recovery and smaller infarct volumes compared to untreated control groups. This research provided the basis for Algernon’s clinical investigation into DMT as a potential neuroprotective agent for stroke recovery.

“The primary endpoint of the planned Phase 2a study will be safety,” said Dr. Nardai in the news release. “However, stroke clinicians worldwide will also be watching for positive signals regarding lesion volume, biomarkers, motor function, cognitive function, depression, and mortality.””

Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AGN: CSE; AGNPF: OTCQB; AGW0:XFRA) subsidiary Algernon NeuroScience has appointed Dr. Sandor Nardai as Principal Investigator for its upcoming Phase 2a DMT stroke study. Find out how this trial could reshape stroke recovery research.

Need a new 3D material? Build it with DNA

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual element combining to become, for 40 years, the world’s tallest building. Uptown at Columbia, Oleg Gang and his chemical engineering lab aren’t building Art Deco architecture; their landmarks are incredibly small devices built from nanoscopic building blocks that arrange themselves.

“We can now build the complexly prescribed 3D organizations from self-assembled nanocomponents, a kind of nanoscale version of the Empire State Building,” said Gang, professor of chemical engineering and of applied physics and at Columbia Engineering and leader of the Center for Functional Nanomaterials’ Soft and Bio Nanomaterials Group at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

“The capabilities to manufacture 3D nanoscale materials by design are critical for many emerging applications, ranging from light manipulation to neuromorphic computing, and from catalytic materials to biomolecular scaffolds and reactors,” said Gang.

A molecular switch packs DNA on time for cell division

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the genetic information needs to be passed on to the next generation, DNA must be packed particularly tightly, or else serious consequences for a cell’s viability might ensue.

Flavoproteins as probes for in cell ESR spectroscopy

The drugs, sutezolid and delpazolid, have demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity and a notably better safety profile compared to linezolid, with the potential to replace this current cornerstone in the treatment of drug-resistant TB.

The findings were published in two articles in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. Research partners in Europe included Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands and the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF), Munich, the Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology ITMP, the Center for International Health at LMU University Hospital and Helmholtz Munich.

A mysterious mineral in asteroid Ryugu may rewrite planetary history

Serendipitous discovery of djerfisherite in Ryugu grain challenges current paradigm of the nature of primitive asteroids. A surprising discovery from a tiny grain of asteroid Ryugu has rocked scientists’ understanding of how our Solar System evolved. Researchers found djerfisherite—a mineral typically born in scorching, chemically reduced conditions and never before seen in Ryugu-like meteorites—inside a sample returned by Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission. Its presence suggests either Ryugu once experienced unexpectedly high temperatures or that exotic materials from other parts of the solar system somehow made their way into its formation. Like discovering a palm tree fossil in Arctic ice, this rare find challenges everything we thought we knew about primitive asteroids and the early mixing of planetary ingredients.

The pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu returned by the Hayabusa2 mission on December 6, 2020, have been vital to improving our understanding of primitive asteroids and the formation of the Solar System. The C-type asteroid Ryugu is composed of rocks similar to meteorites called CI chondrites, which contain relatively high amounts of carbon, and have undergone extensive aqueous alteration in their past.

A research team at Hiroshima University discovered the presence of the mineral djerfisherite, a potassium-containing iron-nickel sulfide, in a Ryugu grain. The presence of this mineral is wholly unexpected, as djerfisherite does not form under the conditions Ryugu is believed to have been exposed to over its existence. The findings were published on May 28, 2025, in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science.

Practical changes could reduce AI energy demand by up to 90%

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be made more sustainable by making practical changes, such as reducing the number of decimal places used in AI models, shortening responses, and using smaller AI models, according to research from UCL published in a new UNESCO report.

In recent years, the use of generative AI has expanded rapidly, with (LLMs) developed by companies such as OpenAI, Meta and Google becoming household names. For example, OpenAI’s ChatGPT service, powered by the GPT-4 LLM, receives about 1 billion queries each day.

Each generation of LLMs has become more sophisticated than the last, better able to perform tasks like text generation or knowledge retrieval. This has led to a vast and increasing demand on resources such as electricity and water, which are needed to run the data centers where these AI models are trained and deployed.
