transhumanism just modify your DNA to repair it,(reply>), Mark Williams You would have to regrow your ear muscle with the changed DNA, and we already have DNA that allows for that range of hearing. It's not a problem with your telomeres, it's a problem with the muscle inside getting older. If you were able to regrow it that easily to it's natural condition, you wouldn't need to change any DNA to fix it. Don't get me wrong, being a mutant freak would be hella cool, but it's not the only solution to many health issues. It would be the best though.
