Yahoo ran a wonderful story on their home page today about a baby who was fitted for Cochlear implants and was just able to hear his mother’s voice for the first time. This is exactly the type of story that makes me happy to be involved in the world of hearing aids. I admit that prior to starting this blog I had very little idea about the world of hearing aids and the miracles and also challenges that they face.
After years of writing this blog and for this website, I sometimes find it easier to get mired in the negative aspects of hearing aids such as their high cost and the Unites States basic decision to make getting insurance for them next to impossible.
So I want to thank Yahoo for writing the great article about the young baby boy who heard his mother’s voice for the first time because of his cochlear implants. The smile on the face of the boy and on the mother said more than a thousand words. The high tech hearing aid was truly a miracle for this family and will serve them well for years.
Good work world of hearing aids!
