RNID and Cystic Fibrosis Trust have teamed up to fund vital research to prevent hearing loss caused by a commonly prescribed antibiotic. The £210,000 research project will run for three years.
More than 10,800 people in the UK have cystic fibrosis (CF), one of the UK’s most common life-limiting inherited diseases. People with cystic fibrosis are prone to recurring lung infections which need to be treated with aminoglycoside antibiotics.
