February 25 is Cochlear Implant Day. It is a day when we talk about a technology that has changed the lives of thousands of people around the world.
In 1975, the development of cochlear implants began in Austria — devices that enable people with severe hearing loss to hear, speak, and live full lives.
Today, cochlear implantation offers the opportunity to hear a parent’s voice, music, laughter, and the words “I love you.” This video tells the story of the technology, the engineers, and the children who discover the world of sound every day.
On this day, share the video to help more people learn about the possibilities of modern medicine.
