I came across this blog about Drew, an adorable 2 year, 9 month old boy who had simultaneous bilateral cochlear implants in June 2007. He was born with profound hearing loss due to Connexin 26, which is a known genetic cause of hearing loss. He was implanted at just 8.5 months old, making him the youngest child with bilateral implants in Ohio!
You can read all about Drew's process of cochlear implantation, his daily adventures and more on his blog: Turn On My Ears!
Watch a video of Drew when he hears his first sounds with his cochlear implants!
