Synopsis
The development of cochlear implant gave thousands of deaf people the ability to hear, often for the first time in their lives. Yet, while many celebrate the success of this new technology, others remain vehemently against the device. The program steps inside the world of the deaf, gaining personal insight from the people who have benefited from cochlear implants, as well as those who claim that the procedure threatens the richness of deaf culture and, in some cases, may constitute child abuse. Parents, lawyers and doctors, both deaf and hearing, bring us to the center of this emotionally charged debate.
