Cochlear Implants. Bringing Back the Joy of Sound
Description
Hearing loss is not just a problem for the elderly. Up to three children out of a thousand are born with profound hearing impairment or no sense of hearing at all. But advances in research and technology, particularly involving cochlear implants, mean that many of those affected may gain the ability to hear. In this program viewers meet children born without hearing and elderly patients who lost their hearing over time who can now engage with their families, swim, dance, and pursue their chosen careers, thanks to their cochlear implants. The video also explains how the ear processes sound and the factors that lead to conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
