Melissa's Cochlear Implant Activation Is an Emotional Success

Melissa was born deaf in both ears. Using a hearing aid in one ear for a number of years, she successfully learned to talk. Unfortunately, her hearing deteriorated as the years went on and she began to fall behind in class. Worried she might never enjoy music again, she was nervous about having a cochlear implant activated. When the activation was successful, she was ecstatic. Credit: YouTube/competitiveswimmer
