The Deets

Fr, this little girl from Strafford, Ontario, had been living life on mute cause she was born without the ability to hear anything. But, some brainy doctors were like, "Hold up, we got a fix." They came through with a crazy innovative surgery. They implanted something where the brain stem could be seen. After turning on the implant, the girl turned her head towards the sound like "Did you hear that?".

The girl is now talking and expressing herself through sound, no more miming! Doctors are saying that these auditory implants will be a W for other kids in the same boat.

The parents also said that they were relieved that the surgery happened, as they had hope for the future. They are really happy for their daughter.
