  • So what does it do can she hear now?

  • It bypasses her inner ear and delivers sound directly to the auditory nerve in her cochlea.

  • Thanks, we feel like we won the lottery with her recovery.

  • I have been watching these cochlear implant videos all night. The fact that this one was silent impacted me more profoundly than anything I have seen so far. I am now more thankful for my hearing than ever before. I am actually crying. Thank you.

  • We were so lucky that she had a happy ending. Because it meant that she could still have a happy beginning.

  • Sorry for making you cry, I hope it was a happy crying. If you get sad again watch the video of the big man dancing to Britney Spears. He does know how to shake it.

    Can I ask what got you watching so many implant activation videos?

  • I think one of the STRONGEST and most candid true loving honesty... That message you had captioned in there was a real heart tugger and makes one think of the value of hearing and what a diff. a cochlea can make. A personal nomination from me.

    Much respect and \ ,, I /

    (I LOVE YOU in typed signlanguage).

  • I LOVE her reaction!

  • @anthonycarignan @chuckMasonTV & being 2 (or 3?) it would be easier for her to learn to use it :) instead of always trying to hear with it, and it being more work like it would for an older child, she would learn to use it faster and easier.

  • her reaction is so beautiful!!!!

  • Oh that made me ball like a baby. That was amazing I can't imagine how proud you must be. That was truly beautifully done :)

  • such a fantastic video...thank you for sharing thisx x

  • I can't imagine what it would be like to see my baby in a coma. So glad this had a happy ending.
