one paragraph please!

You are either a person seeking an easy option for your homework, or a spammer setting the scene for product advertising. If the former, do it yourself, if the latter, I look forward to reporting you.

Let's try two very short paragraphs:

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have shown that it might be possible to use stem cells derived from a patient's teeth to repair damaged corneal tissue, thus leading to improved vision without the need for corneal transplants (for which there is a shortage of donor tissue).

A 2011 paper by Mark A Parker brought together research findings from a wide range of sources, suggesting that it might be possible to use stem cells (or gene therapy) to regenerate auditory hair cells, leading to a cure for sensorineural hearing loss.

The 3-D printing of bone structures (still in development) could, one day, assist in repairing damaged or congenitally missing inner-ear structures. Electronic cochlear implants already exist so the purpose of the stem cell research in Buenchico's second link might be just to prove they can do that. A 3-D printed cochlear with natural-style internal sensor structures would be a huge achievment, all the same.
