    This is the emotional moment a teen with irreversible hearing loss that she shares with her mom has her cochlear implants activated for the very first time. Katelynn Bronson, from Provo, Utah, shares a hereditary hearing loss, passed down through her mom, Jennifer. Jennifer, 38, started losing her hearing in her 20s, and after Katelynn, now 14, was born her family were worried she would start losing her hearing, too. Having passed her hearing test at birth, Katelynn began to show signs of the same condition as her mom after her first birthday, and she received her hearing aids when she turned four. Katelynn learned to read lips, but in school it was clear her hearing was getting worse, Jennifer said, so her family started looking into cochlear implants.

    As a proud Australian I'm so happy to see these stories, the Aussie guy who invented these Cochlear Implants should be a world hero. Dr Grahaeme Clark and his team have made such a difference to so many people since the first prototype was implanted in January 1979. Doctors, Scientists and Researchers are the best of our flawed Human Beings.

      Twenty-three years ago, when rushed into hospital and oxygen was making me worse, the chest consultant on-call realised I had sleep apnoea, which despite visits to the GP had gone undiagnosed as at that time, it was believed rare in men and much rarer in women. The consultant was able to treat me with a CPAP machine which ultimately saved me and I still sleep with it. I believe that the CPAP machine was first invented by a doctor in New Zealand or Australia to help his dog breathe! To me he is a hero because before that time life expectancy was about 5 years with ‘respite’ periods in an iron lung. I think the young girl in the cochlear implant video, may well in future years realise how wonderful it will be to hear her own child’s voice. We’ve all become so blasé about medical advances we just don’t realise how hard working and dedicated the scientists are - the ‘invention’ of the Covid vaccinations are a case in point. To the young girl I say enjoy your new ability to the full.

    I am so happy for her and this made me cry. I’m a 60 year old man with severe profound hearing loss and know exactly what she is going thru. I wanted cochlear also however my ENT and audiologist feel it’s a 50/50 chance for me with my hearing loss with the cochlear implants. If it didn’t work I would lose what’s left of my hearing. I wear very high powered hearing aids that get me thru. Hearing loss sucks. I wish these kids with their booming music AirPods and headphones could watch these videos because at those noise volumes it’s the road you’re heading down. Enjoy your new ears, your young and beautiful and have a bright future.

    Imagine having a whole new _sense_ installed. Moreover, one that everyone else takes for granted but is entirely new to you.
    I don't know if she knew what she was getting herself into, but she looks ready to face it.
    Daily random sounds are one thing, but also associating words (spelled, signed) with how they sound.
    At this point, e.g. she couldn't possibly know what "overwhelming" means without it being spelled or signed in front of her. She has a long journey but nothing she hasn't or couldn't conquer already.

      Yes, but she can also train with specific programs on an app her cochlear implant company provides. I got my implants 3 months ago and can hear almost everything now. It takes 3 to 6 months to get 20-40% word comprehension depending on daily training, and up to 60% for most after a year. I plan on training every day and test frequently to get my word comprehension up to 90% if possible.

    My father was deaf. As a young man in the 1970s I often heard people asked what good space exploration was doing us. This is what it did. Those space crafts need alot of electronics, but the old hard wire,with copper was out the weight wouldn't let the space craft fly. The answer. Micro ceruitry . After that micro surgery. Little babies with heart conditions, the deaf no longer were hopeless. I like to tell the story about my father. He went deaf in the 1930s as a teen. Fixing his ears back then was deadly. In 1970 in a clinic my father's hearing was restored, using micro surgery. Hurrah for space

      In researching this reply, I found that the very first early attempt at an integrated circuit was actually meant to be applied in hearing aids. Go figure!
      I was going to say something about how IC's are so damned useful that they would've become common quickly anyway. Turns out that, by some estimates, the Apollo program accelerated progress in semiconductors by ten years. Neat!
      Anyway thanks, I learned something today.
