Comments From Some Of The Parents Of Recipients

One Mother said through tears; "My son, for the first time in his life, will be able to hear my voice".

Another Mother relates that after her daughter was fitted with a new device to see if it would help, "We walked out the door at the center and she looked up at me and said, ‘listen Mommy, the birds sing".

The parents of a two year-old said that in just a short time their son stated he could hear the telephone ring, and the baby crying.

A Grandmother said her young granddaughter can now hear the sounds that we take for granted.
