Meet Drew, the youngest child in Ohio to ever receive simultaneous, bilateral cochlear implants
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Filed under: Themes, Deaf Jam, Irked Videos

Drew was born in September 2006 with profound hearing loss in both ears, which means he is deaf. In the summer of 2007, when he was 8½ months old, he became the youngest child in Ohio to receive simultaneous, bilateral cochlear implants. TurnOnMyEars.blogspot.com, written by Drew’s mom and dad, is a record of their efforts to “turn on” Drew’s ears and educate him with an auditory verbal philosophy.
