Sarah Churman gets 2nd hearing aid implant

It won't be long until Sarah gets to hear the world in stereo instead of mono. Very cool. She underwent surgery on January 13, 2012 for her 2nd implantable hearing aid and will have her implant activated on March 8, 2012. All this was possible because of  Envoy Medical's generous donation presented by Ellen DeGeneres on her show that helped pay for the cost of Sarah's first surgery and gave her a 2nd implant, including the cost of surgery, for free.



Will her response to her 2nd activation be as dramatic as her first one? I'm sure she will be followed a lot more closely with news cameras around her come activation day. I mentioned in my blog about her first activation that was captured on YouTube that became an instant viral video of the year with nearly 10 million visits to date. People continue to learn about the new surgical implant even though she was all the rage in the news late last year. More people will certainly learn about the Envoy implantable once she gets it activated on March 8.

Good luck, Sarah! Couldn't happen to a better person.

Remember the phrase people, deaf people can do anything...even speak really, really well just like Sarah Churman. Even hear pretty good, too! But we still have a hearing loss at the end of the day when we turn off our hearing aids or cochlear implant.
