These two photos tell the story. The first one is my brother's reaction when he first heard sound in his left ear. The other shows the configuration around his ear. The thing sticking to his scalp is a magnet that connects the whole thing in his cochlea. He has not really heard in his left ear since birth. He's found out just how noisy the world is. He can even plug his ipod into the processor and listen to music. And when he and his wife are driving together she can wear a tiny lapel microphone that is attached to him so they can talk despite the road noise. It is truly a medical miracle. I cried when I saw the activation photo.
