Attribution unresolved — outcome conditional on this wording
Cochlear implants effectively cure deafness by 2009.
Conditional verdict: PARTIAL
At original deadline: PARTLY FULFILLED · By review: PARTLY FULFILLED
Cochlear implants provide important hearing/speech access to suitable recipients, but do not restore normal hearing for all deaf people. Partial does not deny their major practical benefit.
CORRECT for effective hearing restoration/support in an eligible patient subset, not a universal cure.
Excluded from aggregate author accuracy. Conditional wording and related canonical versions are never counted twice.
