Bless her heart for asking about technology advancement for the blind during this time for her....so selfless. Good wishes for you both!
I thought exactly the same ....
Australian scientist are working on it. Seeing that their cochlear ear is such a success.
The fact that she asked whether they've adapted such technology for blind people pulled a heart-string. You're a blessed man to have such a caring woman in your life, sir. I'm glad technology keeps progressing the way it does.

well, im going in next spring 2019 to get one of these implants. ive been deaf for 40 yrs. wish me luck. i want to hear again.
Good luck! Hope the implant helps you.
@@kyledraganov good luck. my son is deaf and he is only 1 and half years and will be getting one of these :)
Steve... don't delay... update us today!!!
we need an update!
I truly hope for the best for you.
Wow, what she went through and still smiles. What a positive person
This girl is super smart, the smartest patient of all of these videos.
I've just had my surgery nearly 6 weeks ago, and the cochlear turned on for 3 weeks.
I had exposure to ototoxic chemicals, as well as excessive workplace noise over a 42 year working life (so far).
Ototoxic chemicals, drugs, pesticides, you really have to know what you are exposing yourself to in this modern world.
Congrats to Kelly, after 8 years or so, I bet you are doing great, well I hope so. All the best.
My granddaughter has these and you would never know. I am so thankful for them. 10 yrs. Now.
She is so lovely for asking about technology for blindness.. bless her heart. I’m so glad she had a good experience.
How caring of her to ask if they have the same technology for blind people. I love her voice too ...
The people who made this device, thank you!
As I'm in the process of being evaluated for this implant and watching videos of those who have them, Kelly made me laugh at 1:08, only out of mutual experiences as she says to say that again. It takes someone with such hearing loss as ours to know the feelings. So glad to see that she's on the path of hearing.
The way the doctor talks slow and mouths the words is incredible patient service
Kelly has such a nice voice!
She's a really nice person.
I would really love to have that job. The feeling of seeing the reaction of little children hearing their parents voice for the first time must be incredibly intoxicating.
she has the sweetest voice. she should be a voice actor.
Being implanted back in 1997 and re implanted 2019 Technology of internal was as good back in 1997 now the external processors with Bluetooth tech are amazing going from body worn processors to behind the ear was a huge step for me. So glad I was chosen to be first in South West England Uk and knowing they have done thousands of patients including children, babies since is outstanding.
Her speech is really good for someone deaf, she must have had excellent speech therapists.
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever watched. I am late 50's and I am crying. Thank yolu.
You have unstable psycho system. Or maybe too lot of stresses and fears in your life? Illness, debt, something like that?
@@juliap.5375 No, I am merely expressing my thoughts and emotions while watching someone joyfully react to what I have taken for granted all of my life. Which includes vision, which includes reading, which includes reading your assinine question. I am still grateful, despite that. I would imagine that enduring the terror of living in China, as you do, has removed several essential aspects of humanity that you do not recognize.
This is so cool to watch; what a great journey we're witnessing! Kelly you're amazing! You definitely have got your drawl on ... love you!
This is so heartwarming. I'm so happy for this young lady. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your joy. It means so much at this point in my life.
Way to go Kelly! It sounds like you're a fighter from way back. And, your voice is lovely!!
Absolutely astonishing how quickly her brain reprogrammed itself.
If I could go back in time I would have become an audiologist or a speech therapist. I find this field so interesting.
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing with the world. This brightened my day, made me smile and extremely grateful to doctors and technology. ❤️
When I had mine turned on for the first time, It scared the bee geezus out of me, but sounded funny too but after a few days it started making more sense.
Is this Elizabeth C. ?
It's so wild that someone clicking around an old-ass Windows screen will allow a deaf person to hear.
This video is great
I can now see the whole test procedure.
In the middle of that she cares for the blind getting the same miracle. Jesus Christ that woman is a Saint
I wish you had not stopped the video. This was ALL very interesting. It's been 3 years since this was posted. Are there updates?
She has had the Cochlear Implants for over 3 year. She lost all of her hearing because of medication she had to take after a double lung transplant. So, she had no hearing for close to a year. That year was a mix of emotions... we were so thankful that she was alive because of the transplant... but, our conversation was limited to very basic sign language. The Cochlear's allowed us to engage in meaningful conversation again. It's not perfect hearing, she really can't distinguish music and sometimes hears words wrong (especially in loud environments), but beyond that we've been given a great gift that we can talk and have meaningful conversations again. That, and since she takes them off to sleep, I don't wake her with my snoring anymore. ;-)
So happy for you, Kelly!
Kelly is so pretty!
It's good to see adults get the implant, I have heard that some in the deaf community are very much against them, WHY?
thanks for the video
there ya go Miss Kelly, I wish you could hear my voice. God bless
and I wish I could give this to anyone who needs it
im going to need all your wishes and blessings next spring 2019. im going in to have this done. ive been very hard of hearing for 40 years. i want to hear again.
@@stevethomas-cc5lz I just saw your post. Have you got the cochlear implant yet? Hope it helps. It's not perfect, but has helped our communication it a major way. She can't really enjoy music as she used to, but we cam have in depth conversations again. She really loves that she can hear birds again. :-)
Like my former teacher when she heard her voice on a tape recorder versus hearing from from inside out.
Glad it all works out for you. You deserve a Medal from the President for what you have been through
If it's still hard without visual cues, the doctor should have tried to go a little bit louder on the volume.
so exciting. I'm on the journey!!
How did it work out..?
@@MICKEYISLOWD SPEAK UP !! Lol.
I've just had my surgery nearly 6 weeks ago, and the cochlear turned on for 3 weeks.
It's amazing tech, life changing, but yeah a learning curve involved.
What a wonderful woman.
"Sound Of Metal" brought me here.
that's fascinating! I honestly didn't know that patients with a new cochlear implant can understand words so quickly. I thought the brain needs more time to adapt tbh!
People have different brains. Look how some singers can use dozens languages, without accent (you know, different language have different sounds, often unique for language). They just hear example and immediately repeat it. While majority of people, regular people, even can’t understand and repeat what they just heard, they need months to hear and often years to repeat correctly.
Aa example watch video “Alisa Supronova Katysha”, girl sing in 40 different languages.
4:25 - She lost her hearing, she wasn't born deaf, so she already knew what the words are, she just had to remember/reactivate/retrain her brain.
Kelly...she's a keeper
Cochlear implants from Australia with love
Well I've been watching a few of these videos and they put this thing on their ear? That's not a implant that's just a upgraded hearing aid the way I see it there's no implant to do with this and if I'm wrong please enlighten me.
You are wrong. Do you see that thing, some disk on cord which she put somewhere to back side of head? She connected it right to implant.
@@juliap.5375 Yes I forgot to correct my comment before I seen how they were doing that but it was a few videos later when I actually seen how they were doing it thank you for bringing it to my attention
Where is here
I’d would love to know what her voice sounded like before she lost her hearing. I imagine if u can’t hear, you phonate differently. Lovely sounding voice now, though, regardless.
Her voice actually never changed. She had hearing loss for a little over a year. Though, when her cochlear is not on, she sometimes doesn’t know how loud she’s talking.
@@kyledraganov Oh! Thank you. What a great spirit she is.
So we are going to play some soothing sounds to test out for you
“Hello, my name is Morgan Freeman and I want to tell you the story of apple pie”
How can she talk so well?
She only lost her hearing in her early 40s, due to medication she was taking after having a double lung transplant. So, at the time of this video she had only had hearing loss for about a year and a half.
Thank God she's doing really well,Nice.
This is beautiful!
Awesome for Kelly !
A esta doctora la quiero yo. Lástima que estoy en chiapas. Mexico
I guess if you’re already deaf from listening to loud music , you can make the switch , and then listen as loud as you want
You suck LEE!!
I have a deaf brother please answer me ,where is here
This is in South Carolina, USA.
@@kyledraganov thank you for answer, how you know that.Could you say which hospital is it and number or email of hospital
I have tinnitus really bad I sometimes have a hard time hearing clearly when someone is talking to me. Has anyone ever tried to see if cochlear implant would help someone like me ?
2 years ago, shame no reply.
Do you also have hearing loss, medical or noise induced ?
Hearing aids can reduce tinnitus, cochlear can help too . . . the brain wants to hear those missing tones, or more normal noise in general.
There's not much that can cure it, sound therapy with / without hearing aids can help some, takes a while to start to work apparently.
I have severe noise induced hearing loss from 42 years of working life, thankfully not much tinnitus, I know many that have said it's maddening.
Hoping all is well still
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hola soy Ricky vilorio🙏👂Gaspar Hernández👂🙏
Bravo!
Awesome! ❤
Can u be a gangster if ur deaf
Naaah
We should spend billions on things such as this instead trying to land on the moon again
Yes on the little ones.
the best things in life are free.💃😀😆
The audiologist should turn her back...not allow her to read lips at the start
Play them some zeppelin
Patient looks like "BBT's' Penny.

She's a cutie.
Good for hearing people not for deaf people ,…. put device in my skull (brain) no thank you. Hearing Aid will do ,…..wonder if you have heart can have electric shock your heart will it burn your brain ?
I’ve never heard anything about electric shock concerns. It doesn’t actually touch the brain, the line goes outside skull to the cochlea. But, I do know that if she needs an MRI, the implant needs to be removed. She tried hearing aids, those did not work. She had almost total hearing loss when she got the implants. I do know that many who are born deaf are not interested, but for someone who had hearing her whole life this has been an amazing help for her.
