Joanne Milne, 40, from Gateshead, was born deaf, and during her 20s also began
to lose her vision due to the rare medical condition Usher Syndrome. But last
month she was fitted with cochlear implants and after 40 years of silence the
life-changing procedure has meant she is now able to hear.
The incredible moment when she hears a nurse going through the days of the week
was filmed by her mother and shows her bursting into tears in shock.
This is an emotional (tears will flow) moment: there is a some good news in a
world full of cynical and alarming events.
