Hi, guys, Ayshah here with 3D tests on the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
earliest bird and England's footy success all coming up on Newsround. | :00:07. | :00:16. | |
Let's start with a special Newsround report about | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
the technology helping to improve the hearing of some of the thousands | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Earlier this morning we told you about 11-year-old Sula. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
She's deaf and told us about the special ear implants she's | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Well now let's rejoin her as she has them switched on for the first time. | :00:30. | :00:42. | |
Sula and her parents arrived at hospital for the big day. Her | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
cochlear implants are being turned on, five weeks after she had them | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
put in. It is a big day? How are you feeling? Excited. I am looking | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
forward to hearing what it is like. The right side implant is turned on | :01:03. | :01:11. | |
first and is gradually turned up until Sula cant hear something. That | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
is loud. Shall I turn it down again? My voice is funny. Some people say | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
it sounds like a beat. Can you hear my voice? Is it funny. Now they work | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
she wants to make sure they look good as well. What could you hear | :01:35. | :01:50. | |
when it was first switched on? The sound in the hearing aid is | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
different from the implant. Some people say it is quite robotic or it | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
sounds a bit like Donald Duck. As her brain gets used to it, they | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
beats will turn into meaningful sounds. Sula will be back for more | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
appointments. We will catch up with her soon to hear how she is getting | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
on. I'm joined by Gemma Twitchen, who is from the biggest charity for | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
deaf people, Action on Hearing Loss. Can you tell us more about what | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
cochlear implants are and how they will help someone like Sula? A | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
cochlear implant is a device that some deaf people have too helped | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
them here better. One part is worn outside the ear. It picks up sound | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
from a microphone and turns it into electrical signals. Are these | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
suitable for every deaf person? They are not suitable for everyone. For | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
people who are profoundly deaf and not benefiting from hearing aids. | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
Some people are against them? Some people in the deaf community | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
communicate through sign language and they see themselves as part of | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
that community. Their deafness does not need to be fixed and a cochlear | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
implant is something which does six hearing loss. What about if someone | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
