University of Iowa Hybrid Cochlear Implant

Shelby Rheinschmidt is your normal teenager, except she just got a cochlear implant. Not just any cochlear implant - a hybrid cochlear implant, as part of a trial pioneered at the University of Iowa. Follow her journey from the decision, through the surgery, to the turning the impant on.
