Well considering how little money has been spent so far on T research, and certainly on any concerted effort to 'find a cure', and all the breakthroughs and near breakthroughs the field is seeing, it doesn't seem like that massive an influx of new spending is even required, at least considering how meager it seems to have been.
And while all of us would love a cure tomorrow, or at least in the next five years, this really is about posterity. A cure for all time and for future generations. And then, from there, hopefully it's streamlined and improved upon, and T becomes a thing of the past. As I've said before T is simply too undignified and too just vile of a condition to not be cured and beaten. Hearing loss, even the miniscule hearing loss that apparently can trigger T is one thing, and you just don't hear quite as perfectly as before. But this loud ringing in the ears.... It's gotta go!
