Man on the Street

Here's a guy asking people on the street in Denver, Colorado if they know what a cochlear implant is. The answers they gave were surprising and funny, if not so sad. About 1 in 30 would get the answer correct. The video below demonstrates the need of educating the public and how woefully they do not know about the issues of deafness or hearing loss. The video makes a salient point, though not pointedly so, that we have a long way to go on educating the public about this number three condition in the United States.




Oooh, pish tosh! I know it was produced by Cochlear Americas. Just enjoy the video and realize the lack of knowledge people have out there regarding deafness, cochlear implant and everything else.
