Clue to SIDS in Hearing

The Puget Sound Business Journal published an article entitled "Seattle Children's researcher finds a clue to the mystery of SIDS" that discusses the work by Dr. Daniel Rubens, who explores the role of inner ear dysfunction in SIDS. He proposes that babies who die of SIDS may not have neurological issues, but rather a issue with hearing and the inner ear. What is the implication of this research for SIDS prevention? What are the challenges in applying this research in practice?
