A New York Times article with an amazing video: www.nytimes.com
“How does augmenting a sense fundamentally shift the human experience, particularly in deaf kids?
Our search for the answers became this film. We interviewed 14 of Dr. Madell’s former patients, those young enough to be born after cochlear implantation was viable yet old enough to have insight into the experience. They had navigated the frontiers of deafness, disability and the human experience. They spoke to us about identity, sexual intimacy and coming of age somewhere between sound and silence.
And they talked about the sometimes wrenching decision of whether to hear or not. That’s a choice most of us will never make.”
